Ever wondered how much life would cost if you were a ninja living in 1959? Here’s a little peek at the cost of living almost six decades ago! 🕰️

To keep things in perspective, the national average salary in 1959 was around $5,000, 📊 which is less than what you’d earn as a fledgling ninja today. A gallon of gasoline cost just 25 cents, but ninjas in full on stealth mode didn’t use cars much anyway. 🚗🚫

Milk was 49 cents a gallon, while a dozen eggs cost 53 cents – perfect for a ninja breakfast before a day of high-impact action! 🥛🍳

A loaf of bread was 20 cents, and a pound of ground pork was 30 cents, which could have made for a delicious shuriken sandwich! 🍞🐖💫

While the cost of living might seem low compared to today, don’t forget that those dollar bills carried a lot more purchasing power back then. 💵💪

So, does that make the ninjas of the past luckier than us? That’s a secret only a true Knowledge Ninja can unravel! 🤔⚔️📚
