Little Economist Pillows

Two children are running lemonade stands outside their home; one stand is more popular than the other.

'...but if daddy raised your allowance he'd be hurting the economy by stimulating inflation. You wouldn't want him to do that, would you?'

"If it's all the same to you, I'd like my allowance in bitcoins."

'This boy you call my son doesn't care about investments, economy and money. I want a DNA test.'

"My assets consist of a piggy bank, 2 teeth for the tooth fairy, and whatever change I find in the living room sofa."

'I hardly expected the federal tapering affect my allowance.'

"Sorry, stock-market jitters."

Actually, I'm not aware that it's a constitutional right to get an allowance...

'I'd like to extend my overdraft...'

"The treasury has hacked into his computer and asked for ideas to solve the deficit"

"It failed the stress test."

"I'd like to reinvest my allowance into the family...but promise you won't spend my inheritance when you retire."

"She's quickly grasping the value of money. Her imaginary friend is named PayPal."

"I don't know about you, but I thought we'd be fully vested by the time we reached 4th grade."

"The buckaroo is interested in his cut of the stimulus package."

'Remember, my allowance helps redistribute wealth, since all the money in this country is in the hands of grown ups.'

'He's showing an interest in banking and finance.'

"Son, due to the economy, I have to ask you to contribute more to your college fund."

'Your allowance is five dollars, honey, but after deductions it comes to a buck and a quarter.'

'I assume this comes with performance based bonuses and a superannuation package?'

'Instead of a birthday card, Dad - Why don't you give me a credit card?'

'I didn't run for class president because I was unsure if your credit rating could stand up to scrutiny.'

'This is where I keep my investment portfolio.'

"Gee, thanks! What rate of interest does it pay?"

'I'd like my pocket money in Euros this week,dad.'

"You were right, mom! Having an allowance makes me appreciate money...I want more!"

'Is this checking or savings?'

"I'll look into it, but you're still in the first grade. Normally, they don't give student loans until you're in college."

'Empty. I'll see if I can hit up my parents for a bailout.'

"Sure I've heard of inflation. I've also heard of wage concessions."

"What do you think I can get for it on the blackboard market?"

'But Dad, all the other kids get a roth IRA as part of their allowance package.'

'Ho,ho,ho, but can you be more specific?'

"Apparently, when the tide came in, a lot of castles went bust."

"Arithmetic gets a lot harder when you run out of fingers and toes."
