    FYI: there is a board-game called Redneck Life which is tragic, inappropriate and hysterical. My family loves it. All the players start with no money. You roll 2 dice to determine the highest grade that you completed in school. All the players go into debt and have to try to work their way out of it. You end up losing a bunch of teeth, getting married, divorced, remarried and inherit a bunch of step kids who are all named Darryl. The winner of the game is the one with the most teeth remaining at the end. If you have extra cash at the end you can buy back teeth and if you’re still in debt at the end, you lose a tooth for each $100 that you’re in the hole.

    My parents had a budget for Christmas gifts. We couldn't ask for anything that cost more than $60. Quite generous but still, giving us the concept of budget.

    MASH, origami/fortune teller game, Dream Phone, Mall madness etc!! Ahh the 90s!!!! Miss those days. Best years. ❤this was fun y’all! Also, yah the dragon fruit is so healthy and yummy and we’ll make “nice cream” with frozen bananas in Vitamix, and add dragon fruit to make bubblegum pink! So fun! 💖

    Oh my gosh this episode! 😂😂😂 I love it! So much nostalgia! I was definitely a Barbie girl, I wanted the Jeep sooo bad, but my parents wouldn’t let me have it. I think the 90’s were great because they had just the right amount of all the “good” things, but none of the “bad” things. Internet, but no social media (unless you count chat rooms). Cellphones, but no touchscreen smart phones. I could go on, and on. It was such a great time. ❤

    As a man who was raised with two older sisters Mall Madness is a must play. I know it has credit cards, but pretend it's a debit because you still use money. Also, I may have Mall Madness in my car.

    LOVED this episode!!! I would say the game I LOVED as a kid was POGS. I collected as many of them as I could, especially since you could get them inside of bags of chips. The millennial nostalgia is so real. I impulse bought a bag of marbles recently, but ended up using it in a lesson with my students, so it worked out.

    I was an avid monopoly board collector when I was younger. (Definitely not a mint condition guy. I played with all of them a lot)
    I remember the switch to electric banking over cash in monopoly. It was a traumatic childhood experience. I had a first edition that had the visa logo, and a later board that had a bold type DEBIT CARD printed on the cards.
    Also not relevant to the topic but still a treasured possession. My aunt was stationed in Seoul South Korea with the Army when I was a collector. So I have a monopoly board based on USA locations that's entirely written in Korean.

    I wanted the pink power wheels Barbie Jeep desperately. My mom said no because Santa couldn't fit it on the sleigh. The real reason was that my sister who was 2 years older would not be able to fit in it. Also, they didn't want to have to buy 2 of them.

    Step by step supposedly took place in Port Washington but I can tell you there are no rollercoasters in Port Washington. 😆 But it is a nice city on Lake Michigan. I love living near Lake Michigan. (I’m not in PW though). People think of cheese and beer in WI but our greatest assets are the Big Lakes (Lake Michigan and Lake Superior). Anyone who visits needs to visit our lakeshores!
