- It is outrageous to think what the prices of commodities were just 3 decades ago.
- Corroborating that point, a bill of the Royal Enfield Bullet from 1986 is going viral.
- It says that the on-road price of the Bullet was Rs 18,700.
A bill of Rs 18,700 for a Royal Enfield Bullet from 1986 is doing rounds on social media. It is simply fascinating to see what commodities used to cost a few decades ago. That looks like an alien era to most millennials. We often hear our parents lecture us about the value of money back in the day. Most times, we can’t wrap our heads around just how inexpensive things were back then. Obviously, the salaries that people used to make were also corresponding to that. Nevertheless, gentle reminders like these certainly take a dig at the mindset that we have about modern things.
