    I have a Rolex Explorer II, which I inherited, which is my daily wearer.  I also have a fancy Breitling Navitimer that I got for my 10th anniversary. 

     

    I have a Folex that I bought in Bahrain for about 100-200 bucks about 20 years ago. It seems legit but I never wear watches so I don't care that it's fake. I took it to a Rolex shop in Hong Kong and asked an employee if they had the same watch new. He held mine then showed me the 20k real deal. I legit couldn't tell the difference. He couldn't either. I'm sure there is a way to identify a fake but I don't know how.

    Back in our teen years, my bro comes running in the house panting like crazy, pours a glass of water, starts chugging, still panting.  Mom asks, "What are y'all doing out there?"

    More panting, more chugging..."Nothin'"...more chugging..."Bennie hit me in the head with a rock!"...more panting & chugging.  Then he runs off yelling, "I'm headed back out!" 

    We thought we were 10 feet tall & bulletproof. 

     

    One time I kept carrying glasses of water out to the back yard. After the 4th or 5th glass my Mom finally asked me what I was doing with all the water.

     

    I didn't want her to know that I used her lighter to catch something in the back yard on fire and that it was spreading and I didn't know what to do. Finally I just freaked out and stomped it all out afraid that I would get caught. I was like 5 or 6.

    Our food costs are not (much) higher than many other countries. 

     

    Food in the US is probably cheaper than anywhere else on the planet as a percentage of income.

     

    I've lived long term in several countries and all of them were much more expensive than the US. I mean, compared to what the average person earns in that country. Meat and fruit/vegetable prices in Japan are astronomical. Even rice is more expensive in Japan.

     

    Even in a country like the Philippines McDonald's is still 7+ bucks for a combo meal but the average 4 year degree worker there earns 200-300 dollars a month.
