When I was a small child, I might have gotten a quarter for a lost tooth, maybe. Of course, a quarter went further. Candy bars cost a nickel. In 1969, they went up to a dime.
The Kim Komando Show reported that some parents are giving their children between $20 and $100 for their first lost tooth.
Seems to me that this represents everything wrong with modern society. Inflation aside, some people have grown up with a sense of entitlement that did not exist in previous generations.
My parents came out of The Great Depression and World War II. They had different priorities. People today have two to three times the spending power, which is great, but some have no sense of frugalness.
