In 1978 three of us rented the top two floors of a two family house for $375 a month. It had 5 bedrooms so then we got another roommate. I made $90.00 a week while going to Salem State for $150 a semester. I’m so sorry that things are so fucked for young kids these days.

I lived just outside the city but right next to the train. That was back when you could go to a concert without paying ticket master exorbitant fees! I feel like I really lucked out living in those times. Saw the Stones, Steely Dan, Jethro Tull, jGeils (of course) and it was affordable to go. The downside is that I’m old now!
