But that doesn’t mean you didn’t also spend every other waking moment bugging your parents for your own pool.

We can only imagine that José Adimilson Franco’s children did just that…until he finally gave in. But only on his terms. An in-ground pool can cost a pretty penny, so instead of going super deluxe, he did this.

Trust us, you’re going to want to do this, too!
First, he bought an upright pool and set it up.

But that wasn’t enough! In an effort to hide the pool’s frame, he built a frame out of two-by-fours around the pool.

Cover the frame with planks of wood and stain the deck to your desired color.

He added stairs for easy access. You can even turn this into a mini porch!

So who’s ready to make a trip to Home Depot to get started? An in-ground pool can put you out thousands of dollars, but not this bad boy!

British Colombia’s most honest homeless man found $2,400 on the street the other day.

Instead of keeping it or immediately spending it all like most people who aren’t even homeless would do, he turned the money into the police.

The owner of the $2,400 was eventually found, but the story doesn’t end there. Inspired by his honestly and overall moral character, journalist Mike Kelly started a GoFundMe campaign in an effort to raise $2,400 as a reward. In just a few days, the campaign raised $5,000.

“When I first heard about this man and what he had done, I started thinking of how we could help him” Kelly said.

Officials finally managed to get a hold of Homeless Good Sam on Monday, but to everyone’s surprise, he turned down the money again.

Refusing to be identified, he said his story would be better served by using all of the media attention to acknowledge the community’s generosity in paying it forward. Instead of accepting the money, the man asked how it could be donated to Our Place, a provider of food for those in need.

All this the good samaritan asked for in return, was a job.

American Eric Royster noticed that his truck was on fire. When he went back to see what was burning, he noticed that he had been transporting over $700,000 without even knowing it.

The flu
The flu virus can survive outside the body for an average of 48 hours, but it can live on a dollar bill for over 10 days. You probably thought that the phrase ‘dirty money’ was just talking about shady morality, didn’t you?

iPhone 5

Factoring in monthly service and data costs, the iPhone 5 is likely to run consumers between $1,000 and $2,500. And you wondered why it seemed like such a steal at $199!

Oil company economies

In 2011, Exxon Mobil and Chevron had larger economies than Austria and Portugal, respectively. It really should be no secret why- have you BOUGHT gas any time in the last two years?

Tax on illegal substances

In 2005, Tennessee began requiring drug dealers to anonymously pay income tax on any illegal substances sold. It was called the “crack tax.” You know a state is hungry for money when they’re relying on the honesty of drug dealers.

Student loans

In 2012, the total amount of outstanding student loan debt hit the $1 trillion mark for the first time in U.S. history. The average student takes $20k for an undergraduate degree, and an additional $17k for a Masters.

Bucks

Before paper money, Americans traded animal skins, commonly deer and elk bucks, for goods. Hence the term “buck” to refer to a dollar. Oh history, you always come through for us!

Allowance

The average allowance an American child now receives is about $780 per year, or $65 per month. Is this not way more than what we got as kids, or was our family just poor?

“Paper” money

All paper currency is made from a mix of about 25% cotton and 75% linen. It is thus closer to bring cloth than paper. Tree lovers, this means there’s one less reason to be upset with the American government now! Only a couple thousand to go.

Lottery

A person who drives 10 miles to buy a lottery ticket is 3 times more likely to die on the way than he is to win the jackpot. Now think of all of the times you’ve driven without dying. Yeah, your chances with that Powerball aren’t good.

90%….

90% of all U.S bills carry traces of cocaine on them. Before you start to call us morally bankrupt as a nation or whatever, it might comfort you to know that the percentage is even higher in the U.K. We win again, Redcoats!

Two dollars a day

More than 2 million Americans live on less than $2 a day. This stat becomes all the more revolting when you hear it while a rerun of “Keeping up with the Kardashians” is playing in the background.

Counterfeit

The world’s largest counterfeiter of U.S currency is the nation of North Korea. Looks like Kim Jong-Un needs a couple extra bucks for his annual food budget. Get it? It’s funny because he’s fat.

Pennies

It costs 2.41 cents to make a single penny. Let’s face it, we don’t use pennies that much at this point anyway, so is it really that big of a wonder why the government wants to phase it out so badly?

Interest in America

The average American will now pay more than $600,000 in interest over the course of a lifetime. Just remember to keep that figure in your head whenever you try to pay for something you can’t actually afford yet!

Retirement plans

Only 14 percent of American workers say that they are “very confident” that they will have enough money to live comfortably in retirement. Moreover, the same 2012 survey that collected that data found that 56% of workers haven’t even calculated how much money they will need to retire.

Ask for new bills in larger denominations: If you’re using cash, it’s easier to spend old, worn bills rather than crisp bills. It’s also harder for us to justify breaking a $100 rather than a $10.

Having more money in your wallet or bank account may be easier than you think. You don’t have to change professions or live solely on Saltines to make sure you have extra spending money. Sometimes, saving money is as simple as tricking your mind.

A few bucks saved, here and there, can quickly add up. These tips for making your wallet a little fatter can go a long way if you let them. It’ll just take a little bit of work. Check them out!

“Shrink” your phone data: By using apps like Onavo, you can make your phone more efficient and avoid overage charges (if you don’t have an unlimited data plan). It also tracks how much data each app eats.

Find the best airfare by clearing your browsing history: Airlines and travel sites use your browser’s cookies to see how often you search for flights… and use it against you.

Buy discounted gift cards and use them yourself: Gift card exchange sites like CardCash, GiftCardGranny and CardHub.com allow people to sell their unwanted gift cards at a discount.

Some insurance policies can help you save money: Reimbursements or discounts on gym memberships, renter’s insurance, rental car insurance can be granted depending on your other insurance policies. Make sure to read the fine print.

Make sure to time your shopping: Buying items during certain times of the year will help you save money. Just like summer clothing going on sale at the end of summer or the beginning of fall, other goods have seasonal sale trends.

Be aware of how amenities may increase your rent: Having a laundry in your own unit can increase the rent, as well as air conditioning. Being far from a city center can also drastically help you save money on rent.

Use your smartphone as much as you can: Most people use their phone for calling, texting, browsing the net, social media and GPS… but you can do so much more. Your phone can even help make you money. Gigwalk, Field Agent and TaskRabbit can help you make money by running errands or doing small tasks for others.

Avoid “vampire charges:” These are also known as trickle charges. They are what you pay to keep your appliances and electronics plugged into the wall while you’re not using them. Unplug it if you’re not using it.

Don’t let your old cell phones gather dust: Sell your old smartphones, cameras and computers online. Gazelle, USell, Craigslist and eBay can help you get a couple hundred dollars for your old tech you no longer use.

Avoid “vampire charges:” These are also known as trickle charges. They are what you pay to keep your appliances and electronics plugged into the wall while you’re not using them. Unplug it if you’re not using it.

Be aware of your home’s temperature: Avoiding running your heat during the winter and turning the thermostat down can save you about 3% per degree. Also avoid using scalding hot water during showers.

It turned out that the boy spent about $3,200 from his granddad’s banking account on virtual food and coins in an online game. It happened because the game used the man’s App Store account synced with his credit card, so the boy was probably pressing buttons and buying items not knowing that he was charged real money.
