I think it was 25k well wishes, not $25k
Not sure what the well-wishes to dollars conversion rate is right now.

Always gotta look for the half-empty glass, some folks do.

My brother (January birthday) would attest, she deserves $25k simply for the fact that she’s a January birthday. Sometimes measly presents, if at all.
EDIT: Our family recognizes his lack of privilege, and strive to create equity. /s

My brother is a Januarian. Poor guy. He always got “combined” presents for Christmas and Birthday. They were pretty good gifts, though. My birthday is in August. SCORE!

I live with someone whose birthday is on January 5th, the day that British people traditionally take down the Christmas decorations. She always thought that it was horribly unfair, and why couldn’t her parents have left them up at least until after she had gone to bed.
