I am sure there are references that depict that comparison. My remembrances are, for example, that in 1954 $25 would buy a full basket of groceries or 10 gallons (US) of gas (petrol) or five dress shirts or four cases of Budweiser beer, etc.

You really should know what something means before you say it. Semper fi is short for semper fidelis, latin for always faithful. It is typically what Marines say to each other.
