I can’t seem to share this page with friends and family. .Can you please help me. I love this particular one and would love to share. Please,please try to help. Thanks.
It is a dynamic world. statements we make 2day can look ridiculous in d next ten years. 30 years ago when I was in secondary school, N20 was our boarding fee for a term. 2day N20 will buy u just 4 sweets. D funniest thing is dat we keep surviving, it does not discourage us from marrying and having children. D world will keep moving and there will always b a solution 2 every problem. In 1955, gonorrhea was a scourge but few yrs later, it was discovered dat ordinary penicillin will cure it, mayb in a few yrs, hiv/aids cure will b bought like where one is buying panadol or paracetamol
Those might be the good old days , but the common man s salary was very small, so 10 dollars was actually a whole days pay.I think it really comes out about the same.We cant compare 50 s prices to todays pay.Just a thought,Nancy
I was 18 back in 55 and never thought that today would be so much Different than back in 55. We think rates are high but what does the future bring For our Children and there children ? Do you thing the Goverment will take over every thing ? like they are trying to do now? I hope not , because we are almost there,We the Tax payers keep this country going and you would think we would be getting AT Lease All Paid Health Care Like Other Countrys don’t you ?
