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 been months since I bought the book, "How To Scam People On Line". It still hasn't arrived yet.
