Were you a working adult in 1971?

And if so, do you have any thoughts on this website and the numerous charts? Can you remember how things were before 1971 compared to how they are now?

Lemme see...1971...oh yeah, I was getting drafted, so I showed 'em, I showed 'em good! I enlisted in the Martine Corps on October 1st with no guarantee and less than 2 weeks later, I was pushin' dirt up and down in boot camp. I was working, that's for sure, but I was by no means, an "adult" yet.

I was in the Navy on the USS Little Rock sailing somewhere in the North Atlantic. Eighty bucks every two weeks with a steel deck over my head and 3 squares a day...
