Let’s give it some, 25k in 1983 (when Jimmy Johns begin) has the spending power of 82k in 2026. So like an 82k loan to a 19 year old (Jimmy John Liautaud age in 1983) at a probable 0% interest rate from his own further is nothing. Additional fun: according to U.S. census records the median annual income in 1983 was about 25k.
