Money from Grandma

So when we were kids, and our grandma gave us $5, we were like, "Oh snap!" It felt like we could buy half the world with the money.

Then when got to around middle school and grandma gave us $5, that could by us school lunch and a chocolate chip cookie on the side. Not bad.

Then think  to high school. If your grandma gave you $5, you'd be like "Heyyy...thanks...." But I guess it was still about half of what you were making an hour folding clothes at Holister.

Many of our perspectives change as we get older. Money might be one of the biggest paradigm shifts we have as we get older. How much is $5 worth to you now?
