Nov 2020
shave and a haircut, two bits
two packs of cigarettes, fourteen dollars
a college education, around 60K
...unless you got that graduate itch
a two-bedroom house in a good school district?
...140,000 monies...
but you could always live in a ditch
the average cost of retirement?
between one million to two
and the average amount of hourly wages?
sits at about eleven bucks fifty-two
Sorry, I get wrapped up in the wage gap and economic disparity statistics from time to time.
