There is an old proverb from Anon, he of many old poems etc, from the 18th century wrote:

Rags make Paper
Paper makes Money
Money makes Banks
Banks make Loans
Loans make Beggars
Beggers make Rags.

Off on a tangent I know but in this day and age pretty apt I think.

Nice one trousers.
As you know all too well money does not grow.
Trees?
Oh yes trees do grow unless monet stops them growing.

Nah, I wouldn't say that's off on a tangent, bikerted - especially, as you say, with how things are at the moment.

If I knew where to dig, zhoen...

Thanks fire byrd!

zola, I didn't know Monet stopped trees from growing - though it would make sense, getting them to stay still while he painted them...
