30 years ago I made $6 per hour and milk was $1 gallon. I make $36 per hour now and milk is $5 gallon. If I saved an hours pay 30 years ago and bought milk today with it I lost value. I do not nor do you have PAST DOLLARS to spend today. Gold was $175 in 1975 or 29 hours pay at $ 6 so today $36 X 29 we get $1044 for gold.
Milk still cost 1/20 th of an hour, oz of gold still 29 hours
Stick a postit note on all your dollars ( dont write on money ) stating when you earned it see if you still have any next year.
We inflate our wage with inflation, a fact gold bugs dont like to talk about
