In 1980 it looked like this:
gas $1.25 per gallon
dozen of eggs was .91
milk was $2.16 per gallon
Median household income was $17,710
If you use http://www.westegg.com/inflation/
Then in 2007 it should look like this
gas $3.53 per gallon
dozen of eggs $2.57
milk would be $6.09 per gallon
Median household income should be $49,967
Here is the problem the average National median income is $44,967
In Alabama it is $35,308
In the Shoals area it is between $31,543 to $39,514
End of story.
