Ever wondered how much life would cost if you were a ninja living in 1959? Hereβs 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 youβd earn as a fledgling ninja today. A gallon of gasoline cost just 25 cents, but ninjas in full on stealth mode didnβt use cars much anyway.
Milk was 49 cents a gallon, while a dozen eggs cost 53 cents β 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, donβt 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? Thatβs a secret only a true Knowledge Ninja can unravel!
