The year was 1995. I was a single man riding around on a brand spanking new CBR600F3. My first street bike, it cost $6800.00 out the door. I few years earlier I had sold my 1989 Yamaha YZ 125 dirtbike which cost round $3500.00. My car at that time was a 1989 Mazda MX6, red sport package with a sunroof. It was my first brand new car. $12,400.00. My two bedroom apartment with living room, dining room, full kitchen with dinette and washer and dryer cost $595.00 a month.
The year is 2025. The average car price is probably around $50,000.00. Sportbike style motorcycles cost $15,000.00 and up. Dirtbikes cost around $10,000.00. The exact same apartment where I lived now rents for $1900.00 a month.
And I forgot to mention something: the main keyboard in my home mini studio was a 1995 Ensoniq ASR10 Sampler. Considered an industry standard it cost $2500.00. The 2025 equivalents go for 6k to 10k.
And the world is worried about the price of eggs………lol!
2025. HAPPY NEW YEAR EVERYONE! Let’s work together to make it the best one yet.
