  2. After graduating U of Mich in December 1968, I started my first "grownup" job the next month, teaching HS freshman French and English for the sterling annual gross salary of $6900/year.
    My dad loaned me the price of a 1968 Fiat Spider 850, which I paid off in monthly installments. And paid rent on a shared apartment. And bought clothes and food, and car insurance, and had some fun to boot.
