For some reason it pains me to spend one of these. So instead I collect them. I freak out when I see someone with a $50 and nonchalantly hands it to the cashier. I start cringing and sweating and then say some not so nice words under my breath. If I know the person, I actually nicely tell them that I can change the bill out for them because I collect them. Of coarse at 1st. they give me an odd look, but then laugh it off as I give them 2 $20's & a $10. Little do they know that I just cussed them out in my head with a smile on my face! My husband seems to think I lost my mind! When he hands me a $50 to spend, at 1st. I look at him like he's nuts and then precede to tell him, "Hello, you know I can't spend this, are you crazy!'

He then tells me how he only has $100's and I look at him like so what! I have no problem spending those. I then take the $50 stash it in my wallet for later to put in my secret hiding place for them and spend the $100 with no guilt or heart palpitations. Ok, ok, you might be thinking I have millions of these because this obsession has been going on for years, but I do eventually spend them. I like to spend them for a nice trip with my husband or gifts for hubby or my kids. Here's the kicker, I can't physically hand them over, I have to purchase whatever it is and then take my $50's to the bank and deposit them. I feel that the bank appreciates them as much as I do, since they are professionals with $$$. Well, I guess that's it, if you don't count the clepto problem I also have. But maybe it's not such a problem because it only involves $50 bills. As my husband says, "Don't leave your $50's around or they'll be gone in a ninja second!" I say, "Then get a wallet instead of a money clip!' That's just being cruel! ;o) Show Less <
