I had been diving with borrowed equipment when the State of Washington gave a $250 Vietnam Veteran's bonus in 1972. This was a little less than a month's take-home pay for me at the time. I bought a tank (steel 72), regulator (MR12), SPG, and wet suit with that money. God bless the legislature and my wife who let me spend the money on dive gear instead of food for the kids (They ended up surviving.). I still have the tank, the wife, and the kids. :goingdown:
