Merry Christmas!



pine-cone
So, on the twelfth day of Christmas  my true love gave me a partrige in a pear tree and a whole wack of other stuff.  But in today's messed up financial situation, what with Monopoly Recession Edition out and everything, where on earth did he get that much money?  


Well, seeing as I don't actually know the answer to that, I'll just completely change the topic now.  Hey, but I do know where that money is now!  See the picture below ((©funnelinc.com))

Back in the good old days, every dollar had it's equal in metal.  What that meant was your money was right there in the vault.  But now, with the digitalization of money, your dollar is everywhere.  Only "the computer" knows how much you actually have.  And simply put, if anything happens to that computer, you're screwed.  (not really though, I'm just half kidding...)


So, what are these almighty computers?  Financially Ill (with help from our buddies at Popsci) has your answers!  Stay tuned to find out!


Happy holidays :)
