Had a wife and 2 young children and bought my first house in '89.....all these years later, I have guns and a house that are worth much more than I paid gor them........inflation being what it has been, I'm probably breaking even......

go live on the S&P
...and when YOUR time runs out, YOU'RE out of time.
Adjusted for inflation, $140 for that Chinese SKS is almost $300 today, which isn't too far off from the asking price for some I've seen here.
It's important when looking at these old ads and gawking at what things used to cost in yesteryear dollars what that equivalent is today.
People recalling that they used to be able to get gasoline for 30 cents a gallon in 1960 (I was still a few decades away from existence then, so no recollection here) should remember that the same amount today is about $3.50. I found gas in Lawrenceville for $1.25 this weekend.

Some of my stock holdings are in the S&P, which has grown tremendously in the last 10 years, and by about 3000% since 1980, before I was even born. And that's without compound interest or dividends.
