I wish I could have gone back in time and warned my young self. I think I was a freshman in high school. I came home one day with a pez dispenser happily eating the candy. My mom approached me, "Oh, you like pez?" Now, roughly 8 years later my mom has collected roughly 1050 dispensers. She claims its my inheritence.
Thanks mom.
Most parents put money aside for their kids in something like a CD or some other sort of savings account. Instead, she got me over 1000 pieces of plastic that are more or less impossible to sell and get any decent money from. She doesn't even have any sort of insurance on them so one house fire or mouse attack and they'll be gone.
Has anyone else's parents done anything dumb like this as an "investment"?
Oh, and I never got any of the candy when she bought them since I was never allowed to open the packages. >:(
