Scrooge McDuck has long been my beloved financial hero and last night I gleefully watched these vintage Scrooge cartoons from 1967. Uncle Scrooge is giving his nephews Huey, Dewey and Louie a life-lesson on finance and the nature of money, after they approach him regarding advice on what to do with their hard-earned savings of $1.95.
My little butterbean enjoyed dancing to this, as I sang, “…when you plan the bu-u-dget!” Enjoy the above gems of wisdom from Scrooge-y McDuck.

I loved Scrooge growing up! I used to dream about swimming in coins and would pile up my allowance pennies thanks for the memories!
I am with Pauline, I dreamed of treasure troves too! I just now started a Emergency Fund and am hoping to get something together soon! It will be hard, but I never paid attention and now I must pay the piper! Love your site and thanks for the solidarity!
I remember watching Scrooge growing up as well. I remember viewing the small allowance I got from my parents similarly. Of course, it probably was not much more than their $1.95
wow, I haven't seen this show in ages. I totally remember watching this growing up.
What happened to cartoons like this teaching kids some other types of responsibility!!
I always wanted to build my own vault and swim through the money too!! Of course, I never thought about how hard that would be, how much it would hurt to dive and how I would see/breathe. Even considering those factors, I still want to!
I used to watch Ducktails so much! I loved Scrooge McDuck. You might be able to trace my love of money back to him. I'm still working on my giant money bin!
It was so neat to find this cartoon because I totally am obsessed with Scrooge-y.
