    early 1950s
    50x12x25=15,000
    $50/mo x 12 months x 25 years = 15,000
    THE BANKS MADE 15,000-7900 = $7100.00 over 25 years
    The 1950s were the 'never had is so good' years.
    Wages were rising quickly, but living standards were well below today's.
    On average people earned a lot less than they do today,
    even allowing for inflation.
    In 1950 the average weekly wage was £5.60 = 8.75 cdn
    = or; 6.75 usd / week - so; 8.75x52
    =37.92 per month in cdn funds
    Most people did NOT have a car payment - you could buy a used car for $100-$500 - and; a new one was maybe about $3500 ???
    in canada a home worth $15,000-$20,000 in 1955/1956
    25 years later, was worth $100,000.00
    in the old days before mortgages
    you bought a home/farm on a line of credit
    over 10 years
    $1000/10=100/year
    plus 5% interest
    year 1 $100 Principle $50 Interest Balance owing $900
    year 2 $100 Principle $45 Interest Balance owing $800
    year 3 $100 Principle $40 Interest Balance owing $700
    year 4 $100 Principle $35 Interest Balance owing $600
    year 5 $100 Principle $30 Interest Balance owing $500
    year 6 $100 Principle $25 Interest Balance owing $400
    year 7 $100 Principle $20 Interest Balance owing $300
    year 8 $100 Principle $15 Interest Balance owing $200
    year 9 $100 Principle $10 interest Balance owing $100
    year 10 $100 Principle $5 interest Balance owing ZERO
    Received your deed
    in 1973 when i started working part-time it was $1.65/hr; however;
    i got $3.51 Plus shift premiums (i didn;t do jobs like rest/or dishwasher or cleaner etc) ; so; i made more money
