Lesson 2 in Monopoly, A fool and his money...

I realize that you did beat the socks off your sister. But, I am quite concerned that you felt that you had to jump in there and buy everything right off the bat. You bought everything. You didn't take time to think about what you bought or plan. My dad used to say to us all the time, "a fool and his money will soon be parted". This was supposed to slow us down from irrational spending of the dollar or quarter that we had received. Which is better, to buy a blow pop or a yoyo? It didn't matter, we never saw money anyhow. So, whether to save for a yoyo or eat the blow pop now, you had your thrill in having the money. Enjoy your monopoly season and think, next time before you spend.:)
