Oh and I remember when my dad moaned when gas went from 25 cents to 35 cents.
My first car...which was used cost me $425. It cost me $10 to register and $50 to insure for 6 months.
My first new car cost me $3000 and I thought I would go broke paying for it.
My first apartment rented was for $125 per month and all utilities paid...except for phone.
My first house payment $200...
Like you I could go on..

Well, I only missed the cutoff by six months. I have friends from my high school class who are technically boomers because they were born in late '64. One of them takes great pride in that.
I think I paid $2000 for my first used car, a '77 Monza, and rent for my first apartment was $160 a month, including utilities. My first new car, a '86 Mercury Lynx, cost $6500 - had to look that one up.
