I remember being 18 and making 4.00 an hour, it's now 8.00 where I live. I can't get over it.

Check out that link if you get a chance. I was just suprised at the wage rate growth and where it stands in most places now. Kansas seems to be getting the shaft.

I'm going to age myself here - I was in high school when I got my first job for $0.85 per hour.

My 1st car cost $30 (a '56 Buick Special) and the insurance cost me $40 for a year.
