CLONE-11011100 on December 12, 2025 4:53 pm The math is wrong. 15 shillings a week is equal to £0.75 a week (20 shillings in one £ GBP). A Christmas Carol was set in 1843. Adjusted for inflation £0.75 in 1843 is worth £83.18 now. £83.18 GBP = $111.02 USD. So that’s worth $111/week in 2025

I barely make over this minimum wage. 🤬
The math is wrong.
15 shillings a week is equal to £0.75 a week
(20 shillings in one £ GBP).
A Christmas Carol was set in 1843.
Adjusted for inflation £0.75 in 1843 is worth £83.18 now.
£83.18 GBP = $111.02 USD.
So that’s worth $111/week in 2025
