130,000 in the bank = Yes.
Jimmy Carter as president = No.
You weren't alive when Jimmy Carter was president, were you? Well anyone who was, even if they like the man, should know better than to think this would be a good idea.

Unfortunately under the Carter presidency, if you had $130,000 in the bank, you would have had to pay about $80,000 into taxes, leaving you about $50,000 in the bank, and wishing Carter wasn't president anymore.

better yet own a house. I bought a house pre Carter for $37,000 and sold it for $127,000 a few years later.
Problem is the banks aren't giving you enough to keep up and the Government ha taken energy and housing out of the CPI so you loose again.

Jimmy Carter was an awful president, and the US was aluaghing stock during his reign.

Peanuts, I'd rather have G. Bush and 60 billion in the bank instead. What can you do with one hundred and thirty thousand dollars? Think Bigger!!

It was nice to have Carter out after 1 term...... (Bush and Reagan were both reelected).

This is either as bad joke or you are wishing for the US to be a laughing stock again.

If you liked 16% inflation you'd enjoy it...for the rest of us it sucked.
