When Whitney left on her mission we had to sell her car, we finally did and got 5200 in cash, more money than most of us had ever held in our hands!
We layed Olivia down on the couch to spread her in thousands of dollars, but once we started dropping money on her she started to cry, she's the first girl I've ever seen who doesn't like money!

Send it up here so I can hold it for a while.
When I was about 11 or 12, Grandpa took a few of us to the bank to withdraw some cash so he could buy a brown Cadillac. As I recall, he handed me $3000 in $20 bills and said, "Here, hold this. It's probably the most money you'll ever hold in your hand at once for the rest of your life."
I remember believing him.
Now I realize, he was either incredibly short-sighted or he had no faith in my potential as a working man and my future earning power. Looking back, I see now that as he gazed upon my bowl cut, knee-high socks, John Stockton shorts, Michael Jackson t-shirt, and 2 inch gap between my front teeth, he probably honestly thought he was foretelling my economic future.
I once rolled naked in my life's earnings. I was about ll years old, and it was 21 dollars. Good times.

The most I have ever held was something like $3,500. Bobbie says she held about 2k. We recently discovered that the average ground soldier is equipped with about $17,500 worth of gear. We have in our tiny little apartment a little more than that. Sweet!
