Inflation
the evil youth understand the fact that anything less than 50 cents is unlikely to buy you anything worth having, and even that 50 cents is only useful if you add it to a dollar to buy a small 8 ounce soda….

Sorry- I refuse to pass up 35 cents, and give a dollar, only because someone might think I am ‘old’ !! We’re in a recession, in case you didn’t know. Every penny counts !

An older person will wonder why youngsters (use of that word will age you faster than anything!) don’t understand the value of money, as they “take a penny/leave a penny.”

What the seniors fail to grasp is that the kids DO understand the value of money — 27 cents doesn’t buy anything anymore and is barely worth picking up off the sidewalk.

Okay, now I admit it – reading your blog is downright painful. I am realizing I must be acting like I am 156. Note (if I don’t forget) — ask my kids if I am doing anything NOT oldladyish. And, will put ALL my change in the cup at Dunkin Donuts tomorrow!
