Mini Economist Gifts

"I used to get toys as birthday gifts but now that I'm in pre-school, all I get is money for my college fund."

"But Mummy, you told me that the money in my piggy bank was disposable income!"

"When do you think the upturn in the economy will have an input in my allowance?"

'Let's be realistic, Dad. How can I compete in the global economy without a raise in my allowance?'

"Why do I need more allowance? Because if you cut me off at 21, these are my prime spending years!"

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

'Call for you on the cream corn line.'

'What a drive! Our boy's going to go a long, long way.'

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

"I'll bet all of Albert Einstein's teachers felt like idiots for giving him bad grades too."

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

'I know about the birds and the bees. Tell me about the bears and the bulls.'

'I'm sure that you are highly qualified. It's just that we're not hiring anyone at the third grade level.'

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

"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.'

"I'll go to my room and do my homework, but I want time and a half."

"Sorry, stock-market jitters."

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

'This is where I keep my investment portfolio.'

"Dad, this is Wendy, she's going to re-negotiate my allowance!"

'My allowance isn't much - but I have a great benefits package!'

"So much for password protected."

"It failed the stress test."

"Two boys from legal to see you."

3 cents glass - Exact change please, seller can't count.

'In the future, if we're a little late with your allowance, don't just automatically turn it over to a collection agency.'

That kid's all business.

'I've crunched the numbers and you can afford to increase my allowance by 15.5%.'

'That's my boy...'

"I don't have time for piggy banks. Can't I just buy an ATM?"

"We've decided to diversify our funds on some candy!"

'If you don't learn how to sign your name, you'll have to pay cash!'

"We've made $7.50. Can we retire yet?"

"I don't get an allowance. I get earnings per share."
