I don't know if that is a terrible sense of money or brilliant! Probably the wrong target market though. That's hilarious though.
I've bought stocks for my kids and tried to explain how it works at a super low level. The thing that seems to get through to them is when the stock has made money I've sat them down and said that we just made that $1.25 and basically did nothing to earn it. They like that idea, and I suspect that once they get a job digging ditches it will be even more impactful.
