Start having an inflation calculator handy when they try that shit. Like "oh, I only made 25k in 1980, you're doing so good at 50k in 2016" (actual conversation with my mother), nevermind that she made basically 75k adjusted for inflation.
I'd like to say it shut her up once I started showing her how her raw numbers were bullshit at every step, but she found more things to argue about until she had to change the subject. But it at least made her shut up about it for a while though.
