This information is easily found online.

$5.00 in 1995 dollars is worth $7.34 in 2016.
Minimum wage is about to become $12.20.
Minimum wage has significantly outpaced inflation.

Compare today's prices with the price 20 years ago for the following items and tell me $5 then is worth $7.34 today and I'm talking out of my ass:
Homes
Gasoline
Movie tickets
HOCKEY TICKETS(the dark days hadn't quite started yet)
Alcohol
Cigarettes
Food
Vehicles
Bus fare
Insurance
Phone bills
Cable bills
Gas bills
Electricity bills
I think you get the point, actually unfortunately you may not.
