LOL. I saved every penny back when I was a kid. When all my friends were buying mini-bikes in junior high school and wasting money smoking that reefer in senior high school, I was putting all my pocket change in my savings accounts (back then you get 8+% interest in a savings account!).

Nerdiness pays off sometimes!
