While $1m USD in 1988 is worth only $2.6m in 2024, if they just put it in the S&P 500 back then and left it there, it’d be worth over $44.6m today.

I don’t know if the Dijon ketchup is really worth it.

    The song one week that was released in 1998, not '88?

      This post, for me, was really three TILs in one.

      1. If I had $1000000 came out in 1988. I didn’t know their hits went back that far.

      2. The inflation value of $1m USD from then to now.

      3. The S&P gains over the same period.

        Oh! Sorry, since the name of the song wasn’t explicitly said I didn’t know what you were talking about just assumed it was about their most popular hit.

        I had no idea " if I had a million dollars" was from 88 either that’s crazy.
