    Join us as we explore the challenges of saving for a babys education in Cheerful Smugglers. How can a young family cultivate the discipline to consistently add to their piggy bank? Our quirky solution? Impose a tariff on all the items entering the household—just like the U.S. government once did! But beware, the devil is in the details. What do we do about the items visitors bring? Are guests themselves taxable? And how do we differentiate between essentials and luxuries? As guests arrive, they might just resort to smuggling items in their luggage to dodge a hefty 30 percent tax, or simply wear what they came in. With all parties pointing fingers and accusations of cheating flying around, how will the education fund hold up? Will the guests storm out in frustration? Tune in to find out!
