My wife and I will very much "notice" checks of $65K (times 12, for three children), regardless of what we are earning, and I don't think we are unusual.

Writing such checks enables a person to recognize that they are truly contributing to the global financial hypereconomy, as well as creating jobs.

Without such economic activity driven by private economic actors, we would eventually slide back into recession and nobody wants that.
