My first economics lesson at 5.

When I was little, having 50 cents was a quite a deal.
I could spent half an hour loitering around several mama shops yet still undecided on what to buy for treats to be shared among my little sister and brother:-

- 3 sweets for ten cents, or
- one pack of maggie mee for forty cents, or
- sour plum of 6 wrapped in old yellow page for twenty cents...?

---scare resources vs unlimited wants...oh sweet memories.
