The New Economy

In light of the financial crisis gripping Planet Earth, I've decided to publish a new book, see cover below.
Here is a brief excerpt from the chapter on my Xmas shopping this year:

Budget: $20
Source: Collecting recyclable bottles
When and where and what to shop: will get up at 3am the day after Xmas to camp in front of WalMart and buy five Xmas tree themed sweatshirts at 2 bucks each.
What to do with leftovers: stash the remaining 10 bucks underneath my mattress. I won't trust anything with the word "Bank" in its name, even if it's Piggy!
