Quite A Tool

The answer is... 42
This isn't retail but I need to share this. I did personal banking for a credit union for a little while, and this early 20's girl comes in on a Monday wondering why her balance is so low.

"I got paid on Friday, why do I have so little money?"

You, uh, spent it.

"Well no you see I don't have any more stuff.

Well I'm seeing here you spent $$$ at Club, $$ at Fancy Restaurant etc etc.

"But.....I don't have any more things like I didn't go shopping or anything."

I...well yes that's true..

She wasn't even mad, just couldn't quite grasp the concept that you don't need to acquire stuff and things to spend money. She was still a little incredulous at the end of our exchange and I came out the other end as bewildered as she was when she walked in.
