[speaker001:] uh well I guess social change takes in a a big category but uh I guess the the one aspect of it that I took in uh consideration uh is more economical
[speaker002:] hm
[speaker001:] I I know that the the amount of or or how far your dollar goes probably more than anything has has greatly changed
[speaker002:] yeah I agree
[speaker001:] I know they they did a it was on a talk show uh they took uh uh the parents and then the uh the son and they compared income at different points in time when the when the father was you know was a little bit younger and more in his heyday and they and they compared to the son's that he was making now
[speaker002:] um-hum
[speaker001:] and even though the son was probably more successful you know higher up in the the management ladder uh his he was actually making less money
[speaker002:] right
[speaker001:] and when you costs when you go by a costs of living
[speaker002:] right um-hum I guess depending on where you live though too
[speaker001:] yeah I know just uh just with me ten years ago I I was comparing uh I think I I was living better ten years ago than I am now even though I'm making more money now but my dollar went a lot farther
[speaker002:] yeah true uh ten years ago I was eleven so um I remember though like buying candy and stuff that was a lot less expensive than it is now and gas and I used to hear stories from my Grandpa and
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] you know he could see a movie for like a nickel and things like that
[speaker001:] yeah well I I know gas prices have definitely jumped uh from uh I know I used to pay twenty five cents a gallon and now it's over a buck I don't know what it's uh by you and around here Minnesota Wisconsin area it's
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh it's dropping but I think it's about a dollar fifteen on an average
[speaker002:] yeah I'm from Wisconsin yeah it's about um yeah
[speaker001:] okay yeah well that's uh that's unusual most of the people I talk to are Texas so
[speaker002:] oh yeah I spoke to a person from Texas too
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] this is only my second phone call so I'm just waiting for more
[speaker001:] oh I suppose this will be one of my towards my last one pretty soon I'm sure they'll stop me but uh I'm uh I'm pretty much out of things say to say
[speaker002:] oh about like social changes
[speaker001:] yeah
[speaker002:] hum um I I don't think this would have anything to do with it but like clothing and styles lot of those changed
[speaker001:] okay yeah I I I don't think they they consider like I said it's a broad category it's just uh not economical but yeah
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] uh even attitudes
[speaker002:] um-hum definitely
[speaker001:] on on clothing and stuff uh I know
[speaker002:] towards each other
[speaker001:] yeah I I I know a lot of the things that that we wear men wear now a days were would've been considered uh feminine uh many years ago
[speaker002:] um-hum yeah
[speaker001:] but the uh I know it's been it was hard for me at first but now I kind of like you know a lot of the bright colors
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] I mean like I think I used to be more uh conservative and just your basic colors but now I I do like some of these uh brighter fluorescent colors
[speaker002:] yeah but they styles come and go all the time though it's just ridiculous fads in and out and even um clothing from the sixties came back I see a lot of um girls wearing sixties clothes
[speaker001:] yeah yeah I I I guess uh the best thing I like to see from the sixties and seventies is of course is the mini skirt of course
[speaker002:] oh yeah
[speaker001:] one of the nice things but uh yeah I I I don't think that there's anything as original it's it's all based on uh one of the past styles they just uh make their uh circle and come back again
[speaker002:] yeah
[speaker001:] so if you hang onto your clothes long enough uh they'll they'll be back in style in a few years
[speaker002:] yeah that's true maybe some day I probably won't be alive to see it but prices might go down lot more I don't know though doesn't look good
[speaker001:] yeah well I think like thinking back I think the only style I hope doesn't come back is bell bottoms
[speaker002:] yeah I remember that I do
[speaker001:] I guess when I look at pictures of myself in the bell bottoms I say God
[speaker002:] yeah I didn't really care for them either uh or now I won't
