Ah, you’re talking my language. I keep a little blue register under the counter at the shop—every quarter’s yield, every penalty for early withdrawal. Those market-linked ones promise the moon, but what I’ve seen is the fine print that eats a year’s interest if you cough wrong.

Walk an extra kilometer or pay — that's the arithmetic our children are learning, not the one in the textbooks.
