My grandmas car - that was handed down to me out of high school - was $2000 new, I found the receipt in the glove box.
Dads car was $4000, I remember sitting on the side of the desk.
My grandma and dad were frugal Germans (other names for that as well....) so those were pretty low value bottom vehicles, but new.
My new pickup was $15,000.
Wife and I bought a new car for $30,000. When they pressured us for extended warranty, they mentioned the drivers seat costs $4000 to replace.
So, in the 30 years from when my grandma bought a new car, to when we bought a new car, the price for transportation went from $2000 to $30,000. And one seat in the car cost double what the entire car cost 30 years previous.
All of that isn't really so bad tho.
Today we pay over $100 a month for tv, and probably near $200 a month for phone/internet service. Wife bought her house with a $300 a month payments. And we all pretty much throw that much away on entertainment a month now a days. How can you get ahead with $300 a month on that stuff? And I know their are many ready to reply they don't get any cable bills.... But that is the exception these days.

What about the hum of your refrigerator? Or the thump of your clothes dryer? Maybe the engine of your car? You hear those sounds every day, and you don't think much about them, do you.
