You know the ones that you cant get the money out of unless you break it. I think we all had one at some point in our childhood. Well there is something much deeper than just trying to get your kids to save money. There is a lesson to be learned here. That lesson is before you can have the money you have to take a loss. Whether that loss be a possesion, time, monetary, a personal relationship, pride,  or what have you . There isnt a dime to be had in life without first taking that loss. Some losses bigger than others and some pay offs bigger than others. We go thru life taking these losses and never thinking twice about them because we are blinded by the payoff. We have been duped into this since we were young all starting with that  lil fucking glass piggy bank.
