I had some middle-class looking extremely whitebread dude come through the McDonald's drive-thru I was working at two years ago pay with a black titanium AMEX. This is the closest brush I have had with wealth. I held it in the palm of my hand, and it bought less than $20 worth of fast food. Later that day the wind blew a customer's $5 in change from my hand as I was passing it over and I had to go run and chase after it in a field.
