Yes. According to that website, those amounts are in today's dollars.

Are we also translating the money? Obviously the value of money has changed a lot since 1912. I could afford a first class berth which my current income(Not bad for a college student), yet if it's translated I may be working in the boiler rooms. haha.

Yep, I am definately a 3rd class person all the way...However, I could also get a 1st class ticket...if I scrimped and saved...and went without my kids...although I wouldn't go anywhere without my twins.
But my reality is I wouldn't want to spend the money on a first class ticket...give me the cheapest you got...just get me where I want to go. I would rather spend the money on food, clothes etc.
I am a huge bargain person...just point me in the direction of the clearence section and I'm happy.

According to this site:(http://www.euronet.nl/users/keesree/info.htm), which does not mention how old these estimates are, these are prices of tickets on Titanic for a one-way trip in today's money:

First Class Parlor Suite: $50,000 (no parlor suite for me!)
First Class Berth: $1,724
Second Class: $690
Third Class: $172-460



I could get a first class berth, but that would require scrimping and saving for a while (ramen noodles, anyone?). So second class would be a less fun but more realistic choice. However, if I was supporting two kids with my less-than-awesome paychecks, I'd be in third also.

About the lifeboats: Even though the custom of the time was "women and children first", I'd feel bad about getting into boat while there were still men who had children left on the ship. I wouldn't want any child to be fatherless because I had lived.
