This is how it feels to be my generation, people 35-45 years old. So many things out of reach that many (though not all) people from older generations take for granted. I know the squeeze is going to hit my kids' generation even harder so I try not to complain too much.

I'm old enough to remember $.19 - for Premium! $.15 for Regular. Gas wars were literally a gas back in the '50s and early '60s.

I heard that. I remember being all upset when I was in 5th grade and gas went over 25 cents a gallon. I used to ride my dirt bike to the gas station in Longmont to get gas with my allowance. :)


I love you guys!!
You make me feel so young

I recall putting gas in the ‘78 espirit firebird at .69 cents a gallon and a pack of camel non-filters with a $5 bill for a rad dog solid Friday night with enough left over from a 20 for a box of booze from Liquor Larry’s off 84th and federal by the old St. Anthony’s North when I was 16

The secret was we never got carded if you bought a cardboard box worth at old liquor Larry’s an OG Vietnamese immigrant just trying to hit that hustle

Had to be a box worth…of whatever
Usually some mix of boons farm for the ladies, or the hope of the ladies, many times ending in no ladies and no boons farm…regardless some mickeys big mouths and some OE 40s cause we were “hard”

Rip off the ttops crank up the pioneer and Jensens with some REO or AC/DC and try not to lose a wire wheel hub cap

Inflation is a bitch

Good times

Every month when my kids auto draft hits for his college fund I ask myself it that would be better spent buying him a house.
As a 40 year old living in today’s economy: yes.

Unless they’re getting a PhD in the medical field or becoming a lawyer. As much as every metric points to a huge market correction, I don’t think it’ll actually happen as long as the game remains fairly rigged. Owning real estate, any real estate, is the only guaranteed ticket.

Unfortunately I agree if you want to live anywhere desirable as we do here. My monthly college contribution no longer pays a mortgage in Durango. I would have had to make that decision for real years ago.

Rip off the ttops

Those damn tops could become a blood sport if you didn't get them off on the first pull!

Don't forget Little Kings and Malt Duck for the ladies.....

Either way, you're contributing to something good.

Anyway, carry on with the memes.
