So around $3,800 or almost $4,000. And you think about it. What could that $4,000 be used for? If you are the family and the husband and wife sitting down with your family, well, I would like to use that $4,000 to go on vacation this year. I would like to be able to use it on some other niceties or what have you. Or maybe, if they can't use it on that, maybe they have health expenses. I have a daughter in college right now. Maybe they have college expenses, other things like that. I am sure they could find a use for $4,000 to spend.
