I remember back when I was in elementary school. I had a paper route and my parents made me save half of everything I made! I only got about $4 a day or $6 on saturday (took 45 minutes by bike to do the small town route), but I eventually had like $200 in savings and they finally cracked!
It was the day after thanksgiving (black friday) sale and they had a special on Gameboy Pockets with 2 games.. so I went for it and got it for $180 with Donkey Kong and something else. It was so great!
Childhood memory over.
