Having $20 as a Kid

having $100 as an adult having $20 as a kid

A two-panel reaction meme contrasts a sad, tearful adult holding $100 with an excited child wearing oversized gold glasses and jewelry while holding $20. The joke is that money feels far more valuable and exciting in childhood, so a small amount then could bring more joy than a larger amount in adulthood. It is used as a nostalgic reaction to childhood happiness and exaggerated excitement over modest money.
