Isn’t it sad how obvious this is and how many people (and even our Government) don’t get it? It took me longer than it should have to understand this concept
Big hat tip to thinkyourwaytowealth.com for remembering this skit.

My 6 year old daughter watched this with me and she was confused! At first I was scared that she was confused, but in her little mind, she didn’t think that it is even possible to buy something if you don’t have the money for it. We need to continue to be careful on how our children learn about credit cards, loans, and the like. There is hope for her!
