Registering money

Did you know that money doesn't grow on trees?!?! No really; It doesn't. It's fabricated, not grown!

I can only imagine the circumstances under which this knowledge was imparted to me: Four-year-old Autumn has decided to carelessly chuck quarters into the fountain. The afore-mentioned is quoted by a well-meaning parent and elicits the response, "Yes, but I though water might cause expansion." Hmm.

So maybe that isn't exactly how I learned that money must be earned, but it makes for a much better story than the age-old I-went-to-college-then-graduated-and-had-to-pay-back-student-loans narrative. So however it happened, I have developed a new strategy since then and am ready for implementation. Are you ready?

I will create a record for money and then add multiple copies. It's as simple as that. (Don't you wish you were a librarian now?)
