Great note
where is it from?
Burger and fries (eating out) were a pretty good guess. European cars are way cheaper, though electric cars get close. Vacation is much cheaper, but it depends on your lifestyle and the number of travelers. Driving, eating out and tourism massively increased. Median salaries also went up, though nog enough to offset inflation. Minimum wage stayed behind, though that was intentional.
And large televisions got a whole lot cheaper π

Around 30 years
Looks fake.
It's a little "too on the nose" as Scott Adams says.
Furthermore, magazine looks bent but text on picture not so much, same goes for lighting. IMHO text was added to a picture of a magazine.
We're right on track
Based on what I see about their returns on retirement investments, they are right, you will eat in, wonβt drive and wonβt go anywhere if you were one of their customers, as it looks like their plan isnβt beating inflation

True, though that's despite money printing, otherwise it would have been even more impressive.
What about the price paid for your work. Has that gone up.
aaaaaaaaaaaaand we're there.
