How much money is nothing to you?

[Bucko]

to me-- how much is nothing ?-depends on how fast I can replace what I have spent--

When a friend of mine at breakfast just mentioned that he had spent far too much on his 3 week holiday--over B150.000-- another diner opposite us commented--"that's not a lot really" --

" a lot - or not a lot " can only be defined by each individuals personal circumstances

Granny used to thunp into my thick head.. "look after your penny and halfpennies and the punds will mind themselves".

Money is relative. If you have zillions a few bucks here and there is not even a flicker. If you have only 100 baht you feel it hard.

If you are travelling usually a small amount on the cost of travel is budgeted for. Remember 500 baht is about $20.00 canadian US Aussie so not big to that market.

Retired in Thailand 500 baht seems more as we are settling in and used to price points here so to us compared to Thai wages, it is high.

But tourists do not live here so a dent only I guess.

And I do care for all my money so I can spend it on greater indulgences.

Plenty in Thailand who are penny wise and pound foolish.
