[The Pokegear snaps on, and Dick, in a nice waiter's shirt, slumps down against a wall and sighs.]

So this is, uh, ridiculously embarrassing.

[His hair's slicked back, too, and he's loosening a little bow tie with his other hand. Tugging at it with a little more force than strictly necessary.]

Exactly, um. Does anyone have any tips for how to... like, not go broke? How do people keep track of money? How do you not run out?

I plead lack of maturity, lack of understanding of the value of a... whatever the unit of currency is here, I don't even know.

And yeah, okay, if you all want a good laugh at my expense, my foster father is a billionaire, both through inheritance and being the CEO of a worldwide corporation. Go ahead, I've heard all the rich kid jokes and I don't really care, I'd just be grateful, in return, for a little--

[There's a voice yelling in the distance, something about not being paid to take breaks; Dick jumps up and shuts off the feed immediately. He does have a work ethic, okay, he was a circus performer until he was nine, but that money was all put in the bank.]

You're not to the point where you're in debt, are you? [She says this out of actual concern, not to poke light out of Dick's situation.]

[Luckily, Yumi wasn't even the type to poke fun at people's finance situations with her family occasioning running into their own money issues at times. She may not had ever worked for money before but after watching her mother make choices with money, she may have some ideas.]

I'd say save up your money. Don't pay with an arm or a leg for something you could get at a cheaper price. Even keep like some kind of journal to keep track of what you're spending.
