My grandfather used to talk of a time when a gallon of gas was 15 cents, and a gallon of milk was 5 cents and he made less than $10 a week. You know the world is going to shit when a gallon of milk costs over 3 dollars and you can't even support your family on 10 dollars an hour, amirite?

He was married to my grandmother when he was 14

Yeah but ten dollars an hour is about minimum wage where as what your grandfather made was I assume well above minimum wage.

Minimum wage is 7.25.

That's why I said about minimum wage -_-
I make 10.50 working at a store yet people make 100 an hour working at oil companies. So you're either saying your grandfather was a store clerk for his whole life or making a terrible comparison.

And he could support his whole family while he was 14?

So the price of milk has inflated x60, so let's assume his pay has done the same which means he would have to be making about 600 dollars a week to have inflated the same amount. Now the average income in 2006 for year round working men was 43460$ so that means per week the average man made 854$. This shows that the price of milk inflated less than the salaries of the workers so if anything the ability to buy milk has become easier.

I specifically said 10 dollars an hour.

Which is killing the economy.

The time he talks of was when he was about 14 years old.
