What does it actually cost to be alive in 2026 — compared to the world we were born into?

Terri and Sandi were both born in 1970, and this week they're getting into it. From 36-cent gas to $4 a gallon. From a $17,000 house to a $436,000 house. From buying a brand-new vinyl album for $3.33 to dropping $45 on a colored vinyl reissue of the same record. The numbers alone will make your jaw drop — but the conversation goes way deeper than price tags.

Here's what's on the road this episode:

💰 What everything cost in 1970 — and what the same things cost you today

🏠 Homes, cars, groceries, gas, concerts, and movies: the real math nobody wants to do

🎵 Vinyl's back, baby — and it'll cost you

📺 How technology, communication, dating, and daily life have been completely rebuilt from the ground up

🎂 A birthday episode for Sandi — because turning another year older is worth celebrating and roasting

😂 Two women who lived through all of it, keeping it real, keeping it funny

This episode isn't about complaining — it's about perspective. We came from a different world. And honestly? Some things were better. Some things are way better. And some things we're still processing.

This one's for you if: — You were born in or around 1970 and the prices in this episode will personally victimize you — You want some laughs with a side of "wait, WHAT?" — You believe honesty and humor are the best tools for surviving anything — including inflation
