15 Shocking Examples of What Inflation Did to Us

Price of a TV

Price in 1956: $495

Price today: $139.99

In the 1950s, you could pick up a 21-inch “Living Color” tabletop RCA television for $495 — that’s $4,578.14 when adjusted for inflation in 2018. Traditionalists could opt for the black-and-white model. Although TVs were luxury items for many mid-century families, today you can pick up a 24-inch LED HDTV for $139.99 or get an even cheaper TV at Best Buy.
