 My first day at work I was paid $2.50 an hour for 8 hours (which was pretty low even by 1980s standards.) At the end of the day I was handed this $20 bill which, though poor, I never spent and is now framed on my wall.

Since 1980 its lost 50% of its purchasing power. https://image.nostr.build/6572e5731e94297f1a66c2ecd3bc480713deb95a02eebf4af9ba3b30e95f3e5f.jpg

I too had my first on books job in 1980, age 13.  I offset the devaluation of the dollar by never contributing to the "voting" of the system with the fruit of my labor.  Not one cent nor one satoshi.  You get what you pay for.  Stop paying.
