Old Money

I found out the frog you just hired is making more than me! I've been here for two years!

That's because today's dollars are worth less. We pay you in 2024 dollars. Those are better.

So, older dollars are worth more? Could I be paid in 1995 dollars by any chance?

Absolutely!

No, it's not a pay cut! The money is worth twice as much!

That frog took more than a 50% pay cut and has somehow gotten ahead. 1995 dollars were better. Just about everything was better in 1995 I believe.
