Tooth Fairy Payouts Up 13%!

Just this morning I had one of those 'shake your head moments'. You know the ones. Where you scratch your head and go "huh?".

I was updating "Frugal News" for the website and looking at all the different news items. One from Consumer Reports said that the Tooth Fairy payouts were up 13%! Who knew? I didn't. Of course, I'm not sure I needed to know either.

It turns out a dental group in Minnesota polled 1,500 adults. So just in case you were wondering whether the economy was having any effect on the price of baby teeth you can relax. According to the survey 86% said that the economy has no bearing on the Tooth Fairy.

Keep on Stretching those Dollars!

Santa and the Easter Bunny are cool.. but I'm not sure I ever trusted the Tooth Fairy. I mean, cmon.. for payments to be up that much in this economy, she probably got some bailout money!

If she denies it, I think she should be required to testify before a senate committee on where exactly she's getting the extra funds to be handing out even more in tooth payments.

Besides, in this economy I think she should give this additional funds to everyone in all the years past she's collected teeth from and only given the lower previous dollar amount in return. She visited me at my grandmother's and I got a dime if I recall. This isnt fair! Redistribute the wealth! I want my handout, er I mean bailout, er I mean.. tooth fairy cash!

About Gary

For more than 25 years, Gary Foreman has worked to manage money effectively. Prior to starting The Dollar Stretcher, he was a financial planner and purchasing manager. While helping clients manage their hard earned money as a financial planner, he applied commonsense, time-tested techniques during the turbulent 1980’s. The experience convinced him that you didn’t need to hit the lottery to accumulate significant wealth. Following that, Gary had an opportunity to learn more about how to get the best value for a dollar spent in the corporate world. As the Purchasing Manager for a computer manufacturer, he was responsible for supervising over $10 million in annual purchases. Gary began The Dollar Stretcher website <www.TheDollarStretcher.com> and newsletters in April 1996. Over 300,000 readers benefit from the time and money saving ideas presented in The Dollar Stretcher newsletters each week. His mission is to help people "Live Better for Less". He also provides private label newsletters for companies wishing to provide money saving information for their clients and/or prospects. Gary lives in Florida along with his wife of thirty years and their two children. Much of his time is spent working with the men's ministry of his church. One of their ongoing projects is the "Holy Smoke BBQ" which sells bbq on Friday nights with the profits going to support local foster kids and orphans. When he has a free moment you’ll find him restoring a Checker station wagon nicknamed “Two Ton” or cruising in a '65 Impala SS Convertible with doo-wops playing in the background.
