They say 50 is the new 40.

Huh?
It reminds me of the Alpo commercials with Lorne Greene where he would pet a dog and say "This little feller is 7. That's 49 to you and me."
No, Lorne it isn't.
The earth doesn't spin faster for dogs.
The dog was born 7 years ago, the dog is 7.
Case closed.
I'll tell you what is true:
50 is the new 20.
What I mean by this is that 50 bucks buys you what 20 bucks would 20 years ago.
It's hard to get out of a restaurant without blowing at least 50 smackers at dinner.
(Unless that restaurant is the Olive Garden).
And when did coffee get so expensive?
It's just coffee!
Every time I stop at the Starbucks, it's $3 or $4 but then they give you change, and change just ends up on the floorboard of my car or deep in my pocket and then I have so much change and keys and crap in my pocket I weigh an extra ten pounds.
O.K.
I just had to get that off my chest.
