ah money

look at all this money! isn´t it so beautiful? it seems like monopoly money but it´s not. here each bill is a different color 50s are orange, 100s are green, 500 are purple. and the bigger the bill the bigger the bill. literally, it´s bigger. fives are the smallest, then tens etc. so ya, kind of weird. they´re like ¨don´t you get so confused that all the american money looks the same? ¨ umm, nope, can´t say that i do.

also, everything is paid for in cash. its like checks are non existent. i once heard of a lady who had thousands of euros in her purse cuz her and her husband were going to buy a car and her purse got stolen. all the money gone, just like that.

also, housing here is out of control. see all the money i´m holding? that´s from A´s parents because they bought us a home!!!!!! yipee. 240,000 dollars........for a tiny tiny apartment. most people are paying 900 a month for 40 years...this is the reason why so many ¨kids¨ live at home ...um, their whole lives because they can´t afford a place!! so many of A´s friends want to get married and they can´t because they can´t afford anything. I know we are so blessed thank you LORD for our new home:O) Come visit anytime.
