Quoted from CrazyLevi:Everything goes up in price every year.
This statement is not accurate.
Some goods cost more. Some prices stay the same. And some actually get cheaper. Here are three examples.
Your pinball machine has gone up in price over the last 30 years.
A cost of a gallon of gas has basically stayed the same from 1929 until 2015, in constant dollar terms. https://www.energy.gov/eere/vehicles/fact-915-march-7-2016-average-historical-annual-gasoline-pump-price-1929-2015
And the cost of many electronics has fallen dramatically. See the Radio Shack ad from 1991 and just compare it to the cost of your smart phone.
