“Tupelo has Lowest cost of living for Q2 and Q3 in 2025”
This is not really answering the question of the OP, but it does show that the purchasing power of $100 varies. AI: “ A hundred dollars isn't what it used to be, but losing a hundred-dollar bill will still ruin most people's afternoon.”

Do People Still Consider $100 a Lot of Money?
Im not sure if id say "a lot"- I still consider $100 usd a decent amount of money, but only b/c I left America with its psychotically high cost of living and relocated to low COL Southeast Asia..... So now im used to paying Asian prices for things, and what I used to consider "normal", like dropping $150 usd on a nice dinner, or $1200 on some new tires for my ride- now seems way outta wack.. Right now it's Saturday afternoon; earlier today for my lunch I ordered this big spread of awesome Thai food delivered to my door via their version of Doordash/Ubereats for $4 usd, inc tax tip and delivery fees... That's not a typo , $4 usd .. Luckily I average walking 12k-13k steps per day, every day of my life here.. or even with the fresh, affordable, delicious food- id be as big as a house .

I do but it seems like it costs $100 just to fart nowadays.

It's a lot when I spend it and not a lot in the bank

Couldn't have said it better myself. Once that 100 is broke its gone.

Pro tip - get it in all singles so you can make it rain and she will be more impressed

I wondered that myself because the standard gift for nieces and nephews for many years has been $100 (whether in cash or a gift). I wonder if today’s kids look at that $100 bill like we looked at a $5 bill from our grandparents.

$100 to me still feels like a lot when I spend it, but definitely doesn’t feel like a lot when I’m making it.

In years past I would occasionally tip a waitress or bartender with a 20. A few months ago driving to Atlanta I stopped at a Waffle House in Birmingham and got treated excellently, so tipped the staff of five with a C-note each.
Otherwise, I compare the cost of generic groceries and buy store brands and $1.50 cola 2 liters cause I can't tell it's not Coke.
I did recently buy a Porsche and paid for it with $100 dollar bills. A tank of 93 octane costs over $100.

That's a dinner for two or a movie for four now, so yes

$100 is weird to me personally, and I imagine others have similar experiences, because as an older kid that was our Christmas present budget, so it seemed like a LOT of money.
When I used to play poker and was either betting or deciding to call $1000+ amounts, sometimes I would think about how little $100 was to me now
I'll say this, spending $100 in a tactile way (cash, casino chips, etc.) makes it feel like a lot more money than spending $100 with a card (and even less using a card online)
