In this episode Lila keeps mentioning that she now makes 425,000 Italian lira a month in her new job. While Italian lira has been replaced by Euro since 1999, it's latest exchange rate was about $2 for 1000. Thus, 425,000 Italian lira would translate into $250 a month. Considering that this was in early 1980s, it would be around $850 per month in 2020s money after accounting for inflation.
