Gasoline
"Fill'er up!" A gallon of gas cost 30 cents in 1920. That would be equivalent to $3.87 per gallon now. Talk about a steep rate! That's quite a bit above our current national average of $2.18. In early 2022, gas prices soared to a staggering $4.11 average, though they’re expected to lower to around 3.57 in 2023.
Apartment in NYC
In 1920, to rent an apartment in New York City cost $60 per month. With inflation, that's $905.51 in 2023 – which is still less than you'd pay to rent a single room nowadays.
Wedding
Walking down the aisle is a ridiculously expensive trip. American's currently spend, on average, $30,000 on the big day. In 1920, the average cost of a wedding was about $400 ($6,036 today).
