Ah, Capitalism!

Anyone who says money doesn't buy happiness doesn't know where to shop. ~ Anonymous

In an effort to educate Naomi on money, and make more fiscally responsible than her parents we started dolling out an allowance for her once a week. She has the right to spend only half of her meager two dollars and puts half into a savings account. The attached image
captures the first day she held the two dollars between her fingers. It was a rather big deal. Ah, the thrill of purchasing power!

Somehow the moment came to mind as I read about the economic stimulus package. The McKibbins aren't doing anything rash with the economic stimulus windfall, but I have to fess up to some thrill thinking that we could.
