I don't think I saw a fifty dollar bill until I was married and It was probably on "Price is Right". I would have swam across a ice filled river for one 50 years ago. Now I give one to the neighbor kid for helping me around the place and he looks at me like "You got to be kidding me boomer".

Kids helping get $5. There are a number of really good lessons in that, more than what’s in a $50, I can tell you that.

still good money to me
it is a tank of gas or almost a tank of gas

meal out with the wife

two cases of beer and a sack of pork rinds

2 boxes of ammo or maybe one if you have expensive taste

1 brick of 22

unfortunately it is not a brick or primers any more and only one pound of powder.


America only has one issue, we have a Responsibility crisis and everything else stems from it.

$100.00 isn't even much anymore.

A grocery store will show you what indignities the dollar has suffered.

Funny you should mention this. We were recently discussing the tooth fairy. I remember getting a few coins when I was a wee lad. One guy said his grandson got a $20 bill from mom and dad for a lost tooth.

I remember working in tobacco in the early 60s for 50 cents a hour and that was work the kids that still work has a lot more easy way to make money today. I still bend over and pick up a penny head or tails.Yes $50 is still a chunk of change.

I make decent money but still hate to spend $50 on something if I don't have to

I don't think of $50 as all that much, but still become outraged at spending $12 for a meal at a fast food restaurant. A lot of things I don't do any more because the prices have gone up so much. Not because I can't afford it, but because I refuse to pay the ridiculous prices. I have lived too long.

Yes it is. And I'm not one of those clowns that throw away money every week on stupid lottery games either or sports betting. That's just insane to me.

50 is the new 20 like Crowfoot said. Hard to get and easy to get rid of.
