MDJ: Yes, I think that might be the problem with this meme, I’m trying to get people to tap into long-lost memories.

If you have any kids in your life, funny ideas they’ve come up with will work too!

Thanks for the tag Mike. The problem is, I don’t remember much about what I thought about money when I was a child. I’ll have to do some thinking!

I grew up in a small town with no shopping and one grocery store. My only real want was ice cream (which I knew I would get if I was good). I didn’t really think about money as anything except to count and to put the coins into rolls.

Jsand: That’s a good one! When I posted this I worried that people might not remember their childhood ideas, so maybe encouraging them to post things their kids thought (like your’s) would have been better.

Thanks for the comment!

I don’t have a blog but I wanted to chime in on this one. Personally I don’t remember my strange thoughts about money as a child. However, my children have given me some incite.

My kids use to think that I went to work to actually MAKE money. So they thought that if I didn’t have enough money for something that I could go to work make some money and we would have enough for them. It took along time to help them understand that I earned money from my employer. I had to explain where money was made and that there were places where people went to work that actually MADE money.
