Outstanding !
well probably way more than that, more like 40,000 gas was 15 cents a gallon back then cigs were 25 cents a pack , you could buy a used car that wasThat dollar amount is roughly the equivalent of $20,737 in today’s money.

Wow -- that's quite a drastic difference from what it'd be today -- of course, the buck went farther back then than it does now!
June 1, 1966.....12 days later I was born and made this world a better place! Lol!
If that was a single week check, or even a two week check, it's big money for 1966.
I worked for UPS back in 1985. Their brown truck drivers made 14 an hour. Their semi truck drivers made 16 an hour. That was ridiculous good money back then. They now make more than double that.
Is that open for debate ?June 1, 1966.....12 days later I was born and made this world a better place! Lol!
I worked for UPS around that time too. We made around 12 an hour on the preload. That was big money back then. You had to work for it though. Brutal learning curve. Lot of guys never came back for day 2.If that was a single week check, or even a two week check, it's big money for 1966.
