Look here prick, i can go into a 99c store and buy 101 items with $100, so you try telling me thats not alot of shit.

13 Trillion dollars ey? Does everyone have that amount? FUCK NO. $100 could be a struggling family's wages that is going to be used to pay the phone bill, the water and electricity, the food, clothing and care for the family, and that's thinking positively.

I'll give you $100 when you actually live on the streets, or under the bridge like the troll you are.

Because when you're working a minimum wage job, $100.00 is half a paycheck that you're using to help support your family.

If you are so poor that you actually think that one hundred dollars is a lot of money you do not deserve my respect. $100 is chump change, EVERYONE should treat $100 as ultimately being expendable. Consider that the gross domestic product of the US is approximately 13 trillion dollars. Now look at 100 dollars. If you spent $100 every second it would take you almost 4,120 years to reach 13 trillion. I hope you enjoy becoming the Mesopotamia of future history books.

If you are indeed poor enough to the point that one hundred dollars is a challenge for you, I hope that you realize that you are just poor, not that $100 is an exceptionally large amount of money. Otherwise you're just a whiny bitch.

For a start, it's totally irrelevant on a personal level that the GDP of the USA is $13 trillion because there are over 300 million people in the country. You talk about it as if $13 trillion is the average salary.
Sure $100 isn't a whole lot of money in the grand scheme of things but the average person in the USA has to work their butt off for 10-12 hours to earn $100 and that's before taxes. You can't honestly tell me that you would turn down $100 if someone offered it to you. Hell I bet you'd do all sorts of things to get hold of a nice crisp $100 bill.
If you honestly believe half of what you said in your post then you've obviously never worked a day in your life and have absolutely no idea of the value of money.

At one point I want you to lose ALL OF YOUR MONEY and end up poor on the street. Then I shall wave 100$ in your face then walk away taunting you with the money.

$100 might not be much if you use MONOPOLY money. Seriously, OP is a dip shit. People work all day to make $100. If he's 22 like his profile claims to be he must be living of his wealthy parents money.

How long does it take you to earn $100, begging at a street corner? Roughly, for me, that's six hours work, so getting 15% of my nett income dismissed as "chump change" isn't the best of things for me.

I regularly walk around town with £50 in my wallet, because I don't need any more - the credit card can deal with the rest.

You know, I was gonna post something slagging of the OP for being a "spoilt braggy git, who's lost touch of reality because his head is so far up his own digestive system starting from the bottom", but then I realised that this is a troll thread and the OP hasn't said a thing since post #1.

$100 a second and you'd rack up a lot of people's yearly salaries in 5-10 minutes. I save my money in $100 portions, but food and rent sap away my fortnight salary so quickly. And often that $100 doesn't stay saved very long. Trying to save money on a minimum wage salary alongside full time university is hard. But I've found ways to treat myself to a decent amount of low price luxuries. Books, CDs, DVDs, I've learned what to keep an eye out for, so that I can leave the shops with a while pile of small stuff, usually no more than $100. The other day I bought the book "Dune". There were two editions of the book in the store, one was $22, the other was $19. I saved myself $3. It's all about the small victories.

$100 isn't a lot compared to how much money we spend in a life time, but it's still several hours wage for most people. If you consider it to be "chump change", I'll gladly take it off your hands.

If $100 is nothing, then give me $50.

No? Your argument is null.

If $100 is chump change to you then I dare you to spread that wealth around.

look from 1 week to a moneth to another week and back to two. 100 bucks ins't much a normal person can make that in 4 hours, and we work 8 hours at our jobs.

Your 13....your opinion is invalid considering obviously you mooch on your parents and don't have a job. You might get that amount if you were mowing lawns and cutting grass, but you'd be surprised to see how easily that would all disappear in a matter of minutes when your on your own.

I agree. $100 is actually a lot of money if you aren't getting any sum of money at the time. I've actually stopped myself from getting less than $100 worth of a game, not because I can't afford it, but because I don't want to waste my money on a game when I could save it and spend it accordingly.

Maybe you don't take into consideration that $100 takes 10 hours to earn at $10 an hour, which is what I would work to make that. So not working 10 hours is much nicer then having to work 10 hours to make that "little amount of money".
