Mad Money Machine

Go plug yourself: Tell me an Early Money Memory

I just had a thought for something that could be a fun segment for the Mad Money Machine: Tell me an early money memory you have. (Someone once said that your attitudes about money later in life are shaped by your earliest memories about money.) So tell me yours! I’ll try to play it on the Mad Money Machine show. Try to be brief (’cause you know I don’t dwell on any one thing too long) and G-rated.

And during your call you can plug something if you want to… you certainly don’t have to! For example, if you are a podcaster and want someone to know how to find your show, or if you sell something, or even if you have an eBay auction for something. No Vices please!

To tell me your early money memory, either:
1. Record it to an mp3 file and get it to me (email it or upload it somewhere and tell me where)
2. Call it in to my voicemail line at 206-734-4736 (20-MP3-4-iPod)
3. Skype me at madmoneymachine
4. just email me the text to read
5. or whatever

I told you my early money memory in a previous show: I was about 6 years old. My grandmother gave me 5 cents to go to the corner store and buy some candy. I would buy 4 cents worth, walk out of the store, then come back in and buy the final penny’s worth. Why? Because if I bought all 5 cents at once I would have to pay another penny in sales tax!
