Ok $60 a week, at 40 hours a week was $1.50 an hour, but I bet there was no way you only worked 40 hours

Can I borrow 2M Dave????? I'm 109 and would like 30 terms.
My first "employment" was in 1966 when I was 15. Mom got me a fake work permit (you had to be 16) and I applied for a job at McDonalds. Pay was 90 cents per hour, I made $36 a week and was in tall cotton .
Dad bought me a 1961 Belair 4 door for $200 that summer and the lifelong fun began!
As an E-1 in 1962 I was getting a whopping $82.20 a month before taxes. On payday I filled up my 58 DelRay with a gas sipping 348 3x2's, bought a case of beer and I could almost make it to the next paycheck.
So what did you spend all that money on?Things didn't change much relative to the military. In 1969 as an E1 I was making $88/month and no, I never made it to the next payday which was once a month. Couldn't afford a car let alone a case of beer
