My First $60: How to turn your kid into a Socialist

When I was about 10 I started earning money from chores. I earned about $5 a month. My mother offered to keep my money for me for “safe keeping”, and I had no reason not to agree. I saved for a year, until I finally had a reason to spend those hard-earned $60, only to learn it was taken by someone who could earn thousands in a single day. That taught me the lesson that the products of your labor will be taken if you let them be. You have to secure your resources yourself.
