Money is a pretty simple thing. There are coins there are bills. You buy things you sell things. Simple right? Not so fast. Why do you have money anyway where do we get it? Once we have it, what are we supposed to do with it? Instead of just talking about dollars and cents we have to start thinking about bartering and value income and expenses saving checking debt card and credit cards consumers and producers, stocks and bonds. That's quite a mouthful! And that's only the beginning.
