Plot Grampa decides to give his family his inheritance which turns out to be a mere $50 each. The family spend their money in different ways. Marge buys a new handbag which turns out to be ten times the amount she thought it was because it was covered up, she agrees with Homer to take it back, but he takes her out for the night. While out, he accidentally stains it, but it is returned anyway, successfully. Homer believes that he can buy and return used items as he pleases. But is eventually caught.

Lisa however, donates her money to microfinance a small business. She decides to finance Nelson who creates a bike customisation business and actually turns out rather well. The side effect is that he decides to drop out of school. Skinner doesn't even try to get him to stay, so much so, that Skinner joins Nelson's business for $11 an hour.

Lisa still determined, takes Nelson to an Entrepreneur expo, where Facebook creator Mark Zuckerberg is exhibiting. Mark was a drop out, and a janitor who graduated isn't doing too great.

The next day, Lisa goes to tell Nelson that she can't persuade him to return to school, but finds him under pressure of complaints, it turns out that the Epoxy he's been using is Water Soluble. Nelson helps finance the school with $50 of his own, and treats Lisa to a day out at a roller skate rink.
