This will be a short, fictional story, OK? I promise.

Once upon a time, on another sunny morning, a young boy wakes up and gets ready to have his favorite meal for breakfast: eggs and waffles. After he gobbled up all of his delicious and nutritious food, he goes outside to do some busfanning. Meanwhile, while his mental imaginations were stuck to just something "beautiful and epic," he began to think about filming something else that may help his YouTube channel expand more subscribers and likes. When he finished his recording set, he packed up his bags, including his laptop, charger and headphones, and left his grandmother's house for the day. He said "Bye!" to Grandma and headed home. At his favorite mexican restaurant, which is around the corner of his subway station, he ordered 4 chicken tacos in one pack because chicken is his main favorite. Then suddenly, it costed more than what he should've spent! Oh, no! So he had to buy it anyway, even though he got enough money to make the purchase. Then he grabbed the food bag and ran towards the subway. Finally, when he came home, his father told him how much he spent at the restaurant. Sadly, his mental thinking made him obsecure. In fact, he told his father "$13 dollars." He said, "How did you get $13? What did you really spent at Tacozilla?" Then he responded him back "$4.99." But, it came into a little trouble. His father told him in a extreme manner, "OK, this is not looking good. You know you should've only spent under $10, and it appears that you are not following your money skills properly." Now the boy is sad that he overspent on what he brought from the restaurant. Later that night, he figured out what he brought early from other places. He counted the least amount of money he spent, then what he brought the next hour, and adds them all up together. Lastly, he came back to his father and told him the real amount of money that he had. After that, his dad gave him an advice that is very, very clear. He reminded him, "When you're on a strict budget like I agreed to you, you must stick to that budget always. You can't slip it off your mind ever again, because you are a intelligent young boy and I promise you, your life will be amazing through the college year and beyond." Lastly, that young boy understanded what his father said and began to felt serious about it, he said "OK. I'll pay attention to my money and my spending. I will spend it all wisely." In his mental mind, a retro person pops up into his epic imaginations and told them, "HEY! GET OUT OF MY OPEN NOGGIN! You don't belong here! Go!" That's a signal alerting him that his too much epicness can wander off some intelligence, especially the left-brain math and skill building processes. So he came into his bedroom, played some brain games on YouTube, and then the next morning, he had a brainwash! Now he can start the day the right way. And when he entered the breakfast restaurant, he spent what his father told him to spent, and it's all good again! Now in the afternoon at his aunt's house, guess who won in his mental challenge: It's both Retropolis and Metropolis altogether! And they all lived happily ever after. The end
