And yes you have to spend it all

Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.

      Not in Europe. We put our currency behind the number and our decimal is a “,” instead of a “.”
      Instead we divide thousands by empty spaces or “.” (at least in Germany).

        Yes, but this is specifically a dollar sign, and in every country that uses dollars, the $ goes before the number.

            More accurately, in English the currency type precedes the number, regardless of what currency it is.

        And then there’s whatever they do in India, where a comma indicates the thousands place, but then they put commas every two numbers…

        The commas seem so wrong.

        Why is your decimal a comma and the separator a full stop? A comma continues a thought just like it continues a number, and a full stop (period) separates sentences, much like it separates a whole and fractional part of a number. Your system is ass-backwards and you fucking know it. You should be ashamed of it.
