If I had invested $8,800 in Microsoft back then, rather than a brand new camaro, I'd be retired right now!!!

Ponder that
geez, If I had $880.00 dollars in 1978, I would have thought that i was rich!

1978: Married in March to unemployed cute Raleighdon. Got temp job until July, then helped DH with his gardening business until I had baby in November.
DH found job at sugarbeet factory and quit 2 weeks later. In December he bought me a vacuum cleaner with 75% of our money. we had 25 feet of carpeting in our 65 foot mobile home.
Ah, yes, there are GOOD reasons why I didn't invest in Microsoft that year.
