Cost of a Donkey in 2053?

The average donkey price today is JAD100,000?. In 1989 I bought a brand new Nissan pickup from Sinclairs on Elleston Road with plastic on the seats for JAD100,000.

Now you see where we are going.

Recently I checked the exact type of vehicle.  It was going for JAD7,000,000.

The only way to know where you are going, or know where you are now is to know where you are coming from.

Do the math - can you imagine buying a donkey, or it being sold for JAD7,000,000 in the year 2053?

It's a good thing that I will not be around in 2053.

That's one way of looking at this donkey issue.
Quite hilarious but a serious matter to consider

In 1988 (just before Hurricane Gilbert) I bought a 3 bedroom, 3 bathroom townhouse in what is today a prime residential area for $230,000.00. Today it's worth several million dollars
That's the effect of inflation and run wid it policies of the past.
Donkey was a give away!

Considering Health insurance, Bridle Path licence, Fuel, Grooming Fees, Shoes. We might have to go back to Nissan.
