I don't find it surprising. $100 is $100. For a significant number of people that represents many hours of tedious work. You make $10/hr, that's 10 hours of your life - if you make less, and are in debt that $100 goes even further. It also represents $100 worth of disposable income for entertainment or rent or utilities or gambling or alcohol or drugs or anything your brain desires.
