At the very least, that suggests that a $3 2018 to $1 GURPS conversation.

I thinks that's more a problem with lifestyle costs at high TL and less of a problem with the cost of everything else in gurps.



I find Gurps prices are a little low in most cases, and usually use a 2:1 ratio if comparing to the modern day.
