    I've noticed that the important things in life have really started to come down in price...

    Two years ago vs today:

    Gas—
    was: $3.50/gallon, today: $1.54 (just filled my tank for less than $18)

    Car Insurance—
    was: $1,500/year, today: approx. $1k (got married etc)

    Rent—
    was $920/ month (didn't include utils), today: $792 (includes all utils)

    Weed—
    was $60 / 8th, today: $35 / 8th (same stuff... if not better)

    The only thing that's really gone up in price is eggs. I recall getting a dozen organic for about $2.25... now I can't find them for under $3.50.
