$1000 in 1984 is worth how much today?

I'm going to guess $1500-2000.

If you have an interest rate or inflation rate of 2% divide that into 70 I think the number is and that's about how many years to double. So, 70/2 = 35 years to double it. Inflation on average was likely higher than 2%, but I doubt it was almost 4% to require a doubling o the money.

I'm sure some website has the exact answer though.
 
I won $1000 off a radio station in 84 when I was in HS. I bought a 19" TV, Commodore 64, 1541 disk drive, an Okidata 9 pin dot matrix printer and still had a few hundred bucks left.

Dunno how much is worth in present terms though.
 
you mean in terms of buying power? If you have a comparison to 1980's base prices then you could adjust it and find out, or just use that website
