Huh I really expected it to be 2 zeros at least.
At least? You thought a day pass to Disney World was at least $2,500 and maybe $25,000?
Adding to their perspective, as another kid who grew up in a poor family.. why not? Rich families were always spending "insane" amounts (aka literally any amount) on food, vacations, extra cars..
$2,500 for a day trip? ..sounds insane and unachievable, just like everything else in life. So, yeah, why wouldn't it cost that much?
When you are poor, the cost of everything sounds insane.
It's not 2.5k for the day trip, it's just the ticket. And from what I heard, the actual expense will easily triple once you start spending for basic things inside like food and hotel.
No ticket costs $2500.
Ofc it doesn't, I am taking about them thinking it's 2.5k for the day trip when we were talking about the ticket. Ig my wording could be better but I am not a native speaker.
