Nice! Where can I get mine?

I would think the following to be a more appropriate image for the reverse, though:

I'll be looking for that gadzillion $ bill soon.

While technically true, that's only beneficial if your income is keeping up with inflation.

For most, that's not the case, at least not yet.

In the meantime, we'll just have less left for the house payment after buying other necessities.

I love the characterization of Zimbabwe as 'not paying attention'.
