Eileen, this is self explanatory for anyone who can compare any two values (eg. 2 pound of potatoes vs 2.3 pounds of it). What concerns your marriage, your future rich husband will give you the pennies, just because he will invest all the money in an ever increasingly smarter and more profitable assets. I'm sorry, Mrs. Scrooge ;}
