Yep.
I was rich as a kid if a had a 5, but now a twenty don't get ya half what that 5 did it seems. 50 seems like alot to me, but not the store clerks!
There comes a point liberalism has gone too far, we're past that point.

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 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.

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". Reminds me of a time a few years or so ago when I went through a fast food drive thru. I had a lot of change in my pocket, so I paid part of the bill with it. A younger girl took the money. When she saw the fifty cent piece, she gave me a snide smile and said, "What is this?" She must have thought I was trying to pull a fast one on her. I told her it was good money. She had to check with her manager who OK'd it! All she could say after that was, "Huh!"
It's not always about catching fish. That's what people who don't catch fish usually say.
