Nigel helps the economy

When you have a son who's constantly going "Daddy can you buy me ..." and "I need to drink ..." (even though he's carrying around a full bottle of water) you know you have a big-time consumer in tow.

If every young child was like Nigel constantly bugging their parents to spend money on toys, arcade games, sweets, can drinks and so on, the economy would never enter a recession. But then, you'll have a whole bunch of parents with huge eyebags due to the exhaustion of working 3 jobs.

Nigel knows the value of money, I think. But he has this impression the ATM is a magic endless well just spitting out money at the touch of a couple of buttons - I used to think that when I was younger too, so I don't blame him.

How does one teach a spoilt brat that money doesn't grow on trees (see picture on left) without coming across like the poor peasants we are? Until then, I need to find another 2 jobs.
