how much was his salary?

$18,000

yeah but he only made $6 an hour.
that's like paying a 1200 rent went you make 240 an hour..

he made almost twice that

I read that it was about $785/month, so rent was about 1/26 of the monthly wage.
Keeping the same proportion, if avg salary is $3000, rent should be around 100 bucks/month.
Mmm interesting, someone must have outjewed from there.

> grandpa told me it costs $2 a night to rent my own asshole from him

The best way to get prices in the past is advertisements. Check archived newspapers etc trust no institutes figures.
Remember also the dollar was defined as 1/20th an ounce of gold u till 1933 and 1/35th an ounce until 1971
