When I started practicing law, in certain cases it would make sense to allow a lawsuit to take a default judgment, because interest accrued at 9%, whereas banks were paying 18-20%.It's substantial, the late 70's and early 80's had double digit inflation.
Economists laugh at Americans complaining about a spike of 8-9%.
Anyway, it would be slightly over $65000 in'24 dollars.
Still pretty expensive.
