From what I found, the minimum wage in California (where Pismo Beach is) in 1991 was $4.25/hour. If he worked 20 hours a week, that’s $340/month before taxes. He almost certainly would’ve been a student at the time since he would’ve been 20 that year. I don’t know what funding he would’ve had, but it honestly sounds doable for 1991

And today they’d be making $1320/month before taxes. Shouldn’t it be easier to afford that $80 purchase now than it was then?

  Not to mention Randy didn’t have the same alternative high quality games to buy for way less than $80 back then. The price of top games was the price, now there is so much good stuff for less. Why should we pay $80 for yet another borderlands?
