Email to the Bank on Wednesday 16th March 2005
Hello
I have searched all over the internet trying to find a piece of information
I did not have any luck, and I am hoping you may be able to help me out
My question ---
"If I spent $270.00 in 1974, what would be the approximate outlay at today's prices???
In other words, $270.00 in 1974 = $??? in 2005"
Thank you, and I look forward to your reply
Geoff

Dear Geoff
$270.00 in 1974 would be worth approximately $1700.00 today
