What about the damn squirrels? You guys are running out of time and are not getting the job done. Since you have stalled out on reaching the goal, Otis now wants to know what you can offer to get his Giant Army to bail this goal out in time?
He says maybe a few shots of Jim-Parallax eating a Spam sandwich with a couple of thick slices of Velveeta on it would be a start?

Yes.....and I agree with your father. His point I am sure is that if you can't afford it don't buy it. If someone wants to help you buy it, and you can afford it, then it is a different story. Like BillMeLater with PayPal....I've used it often. When I can use their money for free, why not!
It is a shame more parents don't teach their children good financial skills as your dad did. My dad spent a lot of time teaching me respect for finances and it has been hugely beneficial to me all my life. I passed it down to my own children and they are both very financially secure and often mention that my teaching got them off to a good start.
From what I see in this world today many parents today only have bad financial skills......and that is what they pass along to their children.
I tried to teach Otis, but he said squirrels need no financial training , if they want something they just steal it.
