$1.25 in 1960 would be worth $10.06 today, not $15.00.

Can you trust the governments’ inflation calculator given inflation measures have changed and aren’t really truthful ?

The trouble with the .gov inflation calculator is that dear .gov keeps changing the rules as to how inflation is calculated.

They have to do this to keep us senior citizens who depend on SSI from keeping up with the cost of living.
