What does this calculation mean? 🤔
Let's use the example of $35 and the years 1979 and 2023. Due to inflation and changes in the cost of living, the amount of goods or services that $35 could buy in 1979 would require $146.89 in 2023 to purchase the same quantity of items. 😮
If we reverse the years in that calculation (2023 and 1979), what $35 could buy in 2023 would have been roughly equivalent to what $8.34 could buy in 1979. So even though you have $35, it's like having only $8.34 in terms of what you can actually buy with it. 💸
