Yes any bill to me is a important endeavor earned.

But lets all be cognizant of todays worth of the dollar as well as others having a different view of importance in wealth !

Yesterday's rules of funding are not even a whisper in todays earnings !!

I still think 50.00 is alot of money even though it doesn't go as far as it used too.i pick up pennies and save my cha ge every week and put in a canister till full.we went to Culver's Tuesday night my grandsons basketball team had a share night.it was 38.00 for the 2 of us.we ordered extra to try and help the team raise money. There went my 50 I was trying to save.

$50 will buy two nice coyote traps. I'd be upset to have two traps stolen, so yeah, its still a lot of money to me.

Can't buy much for 100.00, let alone 50.00.

$50 depends on what im doing with it but is still an amount that makes me pause and think about the purchase heck when I was in my 20s I never thought it likely I would make over 100,000 and if I did I would be rich. Well I sure don't feel rich. Maybe I need to make 200k to feel like that these days . Lol I sure don't know how family's are getting by with the prices of housing, vehicals, and living expenses today. Especially after all the job offers I have had from the "good paying" places around Louisville.

My neighbor runs his bobcat for me $50 is standard for a short job today. He would do it for less or free but he has expenses and his time I think it’s just fair payment. I will have him do a few jobs if needed. We do a lot of dog/chicken sitting for each other that’s just helping each other out no money is exchanged then.


Was born in a Big City Will die in the Country OK with that!

Yes, especially at the diesel pump when $50 will barely get you quarter of a tank of fuel

Depends on what you're spending it on. Take trapping supplies 50 bucks don't get ya much maybe 1 3/4 traps. Then shipping so maybe 1 new trap.

I gotta laugh. I used to have a Ford F-150 with dual gas tanks. I'd go into a gas station and give the clerk a $100 bill. One gas station I did this at , there was a young guy behind the counter. He said to me he wanted to get a pickup but after working in the gas station and watching how much it cost to feed one , he no longer wanted to own a truck.

A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

Yes $50 is a lot until you donate it, then it doesn’t seem like much.

If 1 dollar was blowing down the road, I would stop and pick it up. So. Yes, 50 is no small amount.
