Dentistry Costs So Much Now

Someone put the 1958 Cost of Living Chart on Facebook today and this is what it said:

New Home: $12,000
New Car: $2200
Average Rent: $95
Harvard tuition one year: $1,000
Movie ticket: $1,00
Postage stamp: .04

People always say that dentistry has become much to expensive  and that is why they don't go to the dentist. I emphatically disagree and this chart will support my claim. 

The average home  went from $12,000 to $350,000 is 29 times more expensive.

A Harvard education went from $1,000 a year to $65,000 a year is 65 times more expensive.

The average car was $2,200 and now $40,000 is 18 times more expensive.

Rent was $95 and is now $2,000 is 21 times more expensive

A stamp was 4 cents and now .48 is 12 times more expensive

A crown was $150 and the average crown is about $1500 or a 10 times increase.

Sorry but dentistry is more reasonable than almost everything else on the list.
