Not accepted as rent money, though. :|
Nope, I guess not. My parents had several rental properties and they expected their money too, late they would handle, not at all they got testy over.
Things are changing and it seems not for the better. I remember when our family of 8 could go to McDonalds and get all we could eat for less than $10. And, we could all fit in one regular old Chevy or Plymouth to get there.
Did you know that one of the last things to really go up in price (when other things started climbing) was the 5 cent Hershey bar? The owner thought that everyone should be able to enjoy chocolate at a reasonable price. When prices of supplies went up, he made the bar smaller. When prices went down the bars got bigger. He did that for years until the prices of supplies went so high that the nickel bar would have to be bite size. The company then started sticking to one size and movable rates.
Just a little trivia I picked up on tv a couple of months ago.
