B, it didn't seem to me at the time that prices were rising all that fast, nowhere near 20%+. But that could have been because I had a decent job and didn't notice. Wonder what it actually looked like for the basics like food and such, big tvs and such aside...

Yeah, I remember having a six-month CD at the bank earning somewhere in the neighborhood of 22% to 24% back in 1979/1980 ... but, then again, that was only one side of the story, don'tcha know ... rampant inflation was rapidly eating away at the value of what I was earning, so I certainly wasn't making the financial headway that those kind of interest rates would otherwise imply on their own.
