"I'll tell you one thing, if things keep going the way they are, it's going to be impossible to buy a week's groceries for $20." "Have you seen the new cars coming out next year?  It won't be long before $5,000 will only buy a used one." "Did you hear the post office is thinking about charging a dime just to mail a letter?" "When I first started driving, who would have thought gas would someday cost 50 cents a gallon?  Guess we'd be better off leaving the car in the garage."
