My memory doesn't go back 57 years with a lot of clarity, but I'm thinking $38 month for a pv't., but then beer was about 50cents a glass and gas was 30 cents'
After 5 years of education I started teaching for $8,200, things have gotten better.

I was working construction on the Dallas/Ft. Worth Airport when I found I was going to be drafted. I remember self-serve gas stations were the newest thing going and self-serve gas was the cheapest. In Texas, regular was 27.9 cents/gal. and premium (Ethyl or Hi-test back in the day) was 29.9 cents!
When I got into the service, beer (on the mil. post) was $0.25 cents/can and a Coke was $0.35/can. Then the military wondered why there was an "alcohol problem" within the ranks!
