I wish I could say it with a straight face. But realistically, it doesn't buy all that much today. You can't get a new rifle for that amount, not a good one. You can't buy much of a computer with it. It isn't a month's rent. And I don't think you can buy a car without an engine for $400.

It's to big to be "chump change", it's too small to be "real money".

Oh, and for what it is worth, it's about as much as I pay every month to not have the repo men come for my diploma and skull.
