$1.25 in 1964 is equivalent to $12.51 in 2024 dollars.
$1.25 invested in the S&P in 1964 would be ~$394 today.
$1.25 in 1964 would buy about 1oz of silver, which would be worth ~$27 today.
No building of wealth with silver, and the versatility and convenience that was never used had a hefty price. It was a lesson learned for me. Now gold is a different story...
