I live in Canada so some of these might be a tad different elsewhere.

In the 60%26#039;s, being an unwed mother brought mostly shame and certainly no social security assistance. Now, because of social security assistance, it is almost an occupation.

In the 60%26#039;s we could buy milk and eggs directly from a farmer. Now if a farmer is caught selling directly, he can be fined and drinking unprocessed milk for example is just not considered healthy or safe, Although I gotta tell you I never heard of anyone dying from drinking milk or eating eggs bought directly from a farmer.

In the 60%26#039;s we never listened much to our parents music, and if we did, it was only at home. Never heard the kids saying, %26quot;Wow, I really like Vera Lynn%26quot; and anyone who would say something like that would be considered weird. Now, it is not a bit unusual to hear our kids and grandkids listening to Elvis and The Beetles etc., and joining their fan clubs. In the 60%26#039;s we listen to music from 45%26#039;s or albums. Now they listen to music anywhere they want on MP3 and any of the other new tech listening devices out there

In the 60%26#039;s if we just had high school and we got a job at say a bank, we earned Cdn$2,500.00 a year. Now you need that much a month to get by.

In the 60%26#039;s I bought a new car for less than $2,000. Now,if you are lucky, you might use that as a down payment on a second hand car. 60% 3 Votes
