I WANT A PONY!
"I've wanted my own horse for as long as I can remember. I promised myself a few years ago that whatever I had to do to make it happen before I turned 30, I would do it. The "PonyMunny" savings account has been steadily growing and my $600 was directly deposited into that account. I'm waiting until July to make the big purchase. The 600 will go either to the horse itself or to the long list of "stuff" I'll need! Photo is of a wonderful pony, Debonair, that I helped to train. If he was a hand and a half taller HE would be my purchase!"

I'm with Mr. Crabs.
"I think I'll keep my money in savings. Or maybe in my mattress. That would be really cool to have it cashed in dollars and put it in my mattress... It's probably a better interest rate than any bank is offering anyway."
