Good point. It's really hard to adjust for inflation. On one extreme you can use the official inflation numbers, which are lies and damned lies to make the economic progress since the 1960s look better than it is. On the other extreme you can use housing prices. The truth (inflation as felt by the average household) is probably somewhere in-between.
