Finally, shadycoy0303 confessed, “I still get that feeling for a split second on paydays, like holy cow! I got paper!…. And then I start paying bills, and it's like watching someone come and eat my sundae in front of me to the point where I only have a tiny bit of melted cream left for myself.”

User 4ninawells added, “Oh yes! Can you imagine running around showing your family: ‘Look! I lost a tooth! Doesn't it make me look adorable?' And when you are a kid, a lost tooth makes you money. But, as an adult, it costs you way more than all the money the tooth fairy gave you.”
