remember when 2 dollers and 50 cents was a lot of money?

My dad used to pick me and my younger brother up from school once a week. He'd give us a dollar to buy candy with, and every week I'd go without candy so I could save up my dollars. After a couple of weeks I could buy an Archie Comic book.
I miss 5cent candies.

 

i used to get three dollars allowance to clean my room when i was 5, i thought it was so much money. now days $1000 dont seem like a lot since i have to pay bills n shit all the timei mean i know it is a lot but once you pay rent, electric, phone and any other crazy shit that comes up its all gone........

 

I remember when I lost a tooth, I got $2.50 from the tooth fairy, and I thought I was rich!! That was the most money the tooth fairy left me. I usually only got 25 or 50 cents, but it was the Pow Wow weekend, so the toothfairy thought I needed a little extra spending money. That's what my mom told me when I was so amazed at my riches!

 

It really depends on how you look at it. If I was going shopping for instance, 2.50 would be nothing...yet if I'm at school, and I want to get something for lunch, 2.50 is really happening

 

Why does Archie have checkerboard patterns in his hair?

 

Hey! I was 9. Back off.

 

now... depends where y'are... $2.50 america'll go far in a lot of places.

 

shit it still is for some people.

you can get a 40 oz for 2.50!

 

I'm a Brit so $2.50 is pretty meaningless. How much would that be in pounds?

Well okay for the sake of argument I'll go with £2.50.
It was a lot when I was child. It could get me a magazine and weeks supply of sweets/candy (I didn't eat that much) from the local corner shop. My brother and I used to cycle there.
Now days said amount in said shop gets me one night to a night and a half (depending on the movie) DVD rental.

i used to get about half the pocket money other kids would get round here, i was happy though....i have saved up money, and am quite good with it though i do like shopping, i try not to let the money in my account go down over a month...so yeah!

 

I bet you could go to tijuana a get a kilo for $2.50

 

Now thas responsible money managment!!

 

I miss penny candies..
