This is What $100 Bought in 1950?

Описание: Forget the inflation of 2025. Let’s travel back to the "Golden Age" of capitalism.

In 1950, a crisp $100 bill wasn't just pocket change—it was the key to a kingdom. The war was over, the economy was booming, and the American Dream was finally in full Technicolor.

In this documentary, we explore the incredible purchasing power of $100 in 1950s America. From paying 2 months of rent to filling a gas tank with 550 gallons of fuel, the prices will shock you.

But cheap prices are only half the story. We also uncover the reality of the "Single Income" lifestyle and compare it to the struggles of today.
