How Prices Have Changed

It just blows my mind how prices have changed The first house I bought cost $12,000, that's insane Cars cost a heap Dog food ain't cheap Getting too excited is not good for my brain © Jack Ellison 2015

College cost me $350 per semester ($2800 plus books) back when... Look at that now. To graduate will cost my son $100,000 in loans! Live in the present... and for the future... and chase those dumb congressmen who keep costing us and running up bills for the country. Here Dragon! I've got something for you to do...

Remember back when, getting too excited was the only thing that caused the brain to work?...Gone are the "daze' dammit

Never ever took much to get me excited! A girl with a nice pair of hoohahs usually did it for me!!! Love, Jackson xxx
