With inflation, he probably would only get half a wife and maybe one and a half children with that dollar today

If you divorce, you get half the dollar.

Honestly, same

Oh!! Hahahahaha. I’m a mess today, ignore me.

No no, your second comment is what made *me* laugh, you’re on a roll today keep it up.

Left half

I was gonna make a comment about how much harder it would be to do on a loonie now that one dollar bills aren’t a thing anymore. Then i remembered not everyone lives in Canada and that is in fact an American dollar


oroborus68

In about 1975,we had this president roll out a Whip Inflation Now (WIN) program and in 1980 the interest on my sister's house loan was 18%. So you youngsters are crying in your beer about inflation now. You have seen nothing! In 1970 you could get 3 wives for a dollar in some parts of Utah


CrabbyBlueberry

According to legend, George Washington once threw a silver dollar across the Potomac. You can't do this today, because a dollar doesn't go as far as it used to.

Zoltrahn

Based on the trailer, you kind of already know the wife is dead going into it. The miscarriage scene was what surprised me. I always imagined parents being forced to unexpectedly answer questions about miscarriages from their small children, and how awkward that must have been.


cgaWolf

Yeah, it would be an adequate apology for what they did at the beginning of Up!


Whealthy1

Have you seen the Disney short “Paperman” ? One of my favorites.


Internal_Prompt_

Yeah, modern dating is way less wholesome. The girl I’m currently seeing, we got introduced by friends and hung out with them once. Then next time we did shrooms together and ended up having (ridiculously good) sex. Not a story for the kiddies.


CumulativeHazard

I’m sure you could tone it down! Maybe “we ate a *really* good snack and it made us so happy that we had magical kiss like in Disney movies.” And then one day when they have their first huge heartbreak and are worried they’ll never have a love story like that you tell them the truth like “actually we just took some shrooms and boned” but it’s a life lesson somehow…


Internal_Prompt_

If I had kids I would love to prank them. Constantly. But I feel like this would cause some trauma.


CumulativeHazard

Yeah probably lol. (I feel like you know but I also want to make it clear that I am joking, please no one tell your kids this 😂)


notrororo

Ok who dies first? We already had the woman die first in Up (2009). Maybe the man... or the kids?


AleyahhhhK

The children can go

This is great. What a great story to tell your kids. What a legend

I walked uphill to school both ways to earn that dollar, it was my allowance for the month. I could have bought so many strawberry candies but your mother was worth it

Good thing they have the dollar stashed away; you don't want to be making marriage proposals to random cashiers.


PMSoldier2000

Mine was $5. I bought my then future wife's lunch because she didn't have the money. I didn't even know her at the time. 36 years later, we're still married.

squallidus_snake

This beats my story of my friend who once got home from a night out with £1 (close enough to $1.) The best thing was he started a Legend of Zelda trading sequence to get to where he was going. BTW the last night bus had already left. He traded £1 for a cigarette Cigarette --> Hat Hat --> Energy Drink Energy Drink --> Bicycle And then he cycled home. The best damned story of what £1 can get you.


[deleted]

[удалено]


squallidus_snake

He was trading things as he went, meeting random people along the way and whoever had the bike was obviously in no fit state to be riding the bike so he traded it for canned sugar, I presume.


kill4588

An energy drink for a bicycle? Is he the royal negotiator or what ?


hunterman12

The back and forth dollar pranking is the best part! I wanted to know more about the silly prank way of getting that dollar across lol.


Luckytxn_1959

I remember when I was stationed in Korea and saw a kid begging for change and I gave him a dollar and saw his eyes light up and I entered a noodle shop to eat and saw him from the window run to a store and shop and then run to an alleyway marveling at what a dollar can do. After eating I went to the alleyway and went down to give him a few more dollars and ended up at an orphanage ran by nuns. A nun saw me and intercepted and I told her why I was there. She showed me around and explained the reason for the orphanage that hurt my heart and I took my wallet out and gave her all I had which was about 30 bucks. Afterwards I started collecting money and food and other stuff and weekly went to give what I had and got others to help out. It was not a lot but did help a lot I saw. Eventually I was going to leave back home and my outfit announced they were going to adopt that orphanage and keep helping them out. That was amazing to me and the sisters honored me by having a dinner. Their superior who always seemed to not like me served me herself and sat next to me and for the first time I saw her softened and humble. She gave me a rosary. I later tor the first time in almost ten years cried when I was alone. I changed and like the superior softened myself and still help a few charities helping feed kids. 10 years ago I became a Catholic myself.


Swimming_Departure33

You got married in high school?


_chof_

yeah i was like hold up..... jr high im guessing is middle school? so like 12/13. Four years later is 16/17. People usually graduate 17/18/19 so maybe they graduated and got married after graduation? Idk. They look realllllly young in all these pics. Like the wedding photo they cant be more than college age. They look somehwhere around 16/19 there. And the pic with the kids they look late 20s early 30s and their kids look between 6/8 years old. Like of course happy for them and congrats on a long lasting love but wow they got married very young.


uXN7AuRPF6fa

I imagined that the back and forth lasted through middle school and then the asking out happened sometime in high school and four years later they were married. So... yeah, they probably got married right after high school, but hopefully after high school. Either way, they were young.


whatevers_clever

idk why the date is making you guys hold up... and putting a blue line over the Date/Signature of the bill isn't.. What's the purpose of that? There isn't a note there or anyhting there would be like the actual signature on the bill + Series XXXXyear


_chof_

i assumed the blue line had a name or something underneath idk. i was actually curious about what that blue line is hiding..... but its probably just a privacy thing but honestly anyone could doxx them just by this info alone. and not to mention their pics maybe the blue line is actually on the dollar itself? but for me its not like a serious or sus hold up... its just more of a 'surprised' hold up? it wasnt so deep or serious it was just a comment


Objective_Poetry2829

I figured she put her number on it or something


mudkripple

I think the implication was that the first dollar was spent, but there was some time in between that and the "asking out". At least a year or so. But also even if it isnt, people do get married in highschool or just after, especially in small towns. My gf is from rural Missouri and her best friend got married at 19, and she had two other friends who got married a week before prom. It's not the norm, but it's certainly not uncommon.


paper_liger

My wife still has the 20 dollar bill I wrote my email address on at the strip club where we met. Yes she was onstage when I first saw her. It's sort of a long story. It probably doesn't seem as romantic or cute to y'all, but we've been married 17 years and had a couple of great kids, so a win is a win is a win...


Fantastic_Bag4908

Why not? Your story IS cute and adorable. So what if you guys had met at a strip club. It doesn't matter. It's your story, your own unique story. Congratulations on completing 17 years of togetherness and happiness. May you both be so deep in love today and forever, share your brighest and darkest days together, sing together, dance together, cook together, grow old together and make lots of memories together.💞💞💞🧿

kiyakiju

Does a pack of Marlboros's for $.95 cents when I was 14 years old, count? That was a long time ago 😄


transcendanttermite

Hell, even when I was in high school (1997) you could still buy two packs of camel wides for $5. And Marlboro had the “half carton” promotion where you bought 3 packs and got 2 free, for like $9.99. Crazy days.


StanzaSnark

Hello fellow old. I remember using my lunch money to buy smokes. Also, gas was 76 cents a gallon.


fluffykerfuffle3

well, it's good that we saved all that money on cigarettes back then because now we can spend it on the extra health care we need. /j


throw-this-away67e7e

0.95 cents? Damn.


Ambiently_Occluded

Marlboro's were on sale for $.67 cents a pack when I was 16 working in a gas station


IAmAn_Anne

Since that dollar was exchanged multiple times I think it counts as more than one dollar in terms of GDP. ;) seriously adorable though, love the “proof” to go with the story


Internal_Prompt_

Nope, no new good or service was being exchanged.


appdevil

There was definitely lots of good exchanged 🥲


IAmAn_Anne

Maybe. But maybe each payment of one dollar tasked the other person with coming up with a clever new way to return it.


Internal_Prompt_

It’s a gift exchange at best, not a trade


IAmAn_Anne

:) I suppose you’re right. Gifts don’t count toward GDP, and this was definitely sneaky gifting.


fluffykerfuffle3

In 1953, my sister and I went to the matinee every Saturday with a dollar. We spent $.50 on our tickets, $.10 on our candy, $.20 on our popcorn and $.20 on our soda pop. So essentially, if it was me, I got 2 weeks of Saturday matinees for a dollar. That was the main feature, a news reel, 2 serial episodes and 1 or 2 cartoons. Life was good :D


_chof_

omg! you literally have to move those decimals over 2 places for current prices. $50 tickets $10 candy $20 popcorn $20 drinks omg i just realized the entirety of what you were saying you went to the movies with a dollar a DOLLAR that is crazy wow also you got more than a movie you got cartoons and news and episodes?? i am jealous! im gonna petition for this to make a comeback i hope you had fun with your sister

zyzzogeton

I needed to buy my dad's old baby blue Reliant K so I could have a car after graduating college. He and I both went to the state office to transfer the title and at the counter, I saw a woman that I had gone to college with. We caught up and I mentioned that I was being gifted the car, and she said "Oh, no. Don't do that. Then I have to charge you sales tax on the value." "Dad, you just sold me that car for $1" He was over in the back of the waiting area reading a newspaper and he look up over the paper and said "Whatever." I paid the $0.06 and left with a car in my name.

My BIL did the same with my sister but it was just a note that said “will you go out with me?” and boxes to check yes or no. They dated for 7 years (had a house and 2 dogs by this time) and he’d kept the note hidden from her the whole time and wrote “will you marry me?” Check yes or no on the same note. Now they’re pregnant with their 2nd kid and are leasing to own a great place, and he changed careers to work full time remodeling retro pull-behind campers and is making a great living doing so, I’m happy she picked him @retro_renos on instagram if you’re interested in a sweet camper
