I remember I didn't understand the difference between $1, $10, $20, etc. We would go to the store and my mom would pay with one bill. I thought that meant that you could buy all you wanted for just one dollar. Sometimes we bought lots, but sometimes we would buy just a couple of things, and I used to get upset that we were wasting our dollars when we could have got so much more.
