Hi mARToons fan!

 

Remember when you were a kid and every dime you earned from allowance or cutting the neighbor’s lawn went into your piggy bank?

 

One day on the way home from school, I spent $1 at the corner store on baseball cards.

 

As that was a stack of 20 packages, the store owner had to call my mom to get approval (I had already got approval but the owner was verifying).

 

In other words, unless it was for a very good reason, I should be saving my money. 

 

It was a big decision for me to take that dollar out of the piggy bank for the baseball cards.

 

Most kids I knew were also under tight ‘you must save’ orders from their moms.

 

Fast forward to now. Trudeau has to flip the government on its ear to get everyone’s Covid payments out NOW. Why? Dare mARToons ask, doesn’t anyone have savings? Or is it true that most folks like paycheque to paycheque, and are one paycheque away from insolvency?

 

Cheers,
