Nobody could reach this dollar bill - until he showed up

We hung cash from a high bar at the skatepark - $1, $5, $10, $20, $50, and even a $100 bill - and gave everyone just one standing jump to grab whatever they could reach. Some played it safe, taking the easy money, while others gambled for more and walked away with nothing. The wind added chaos, pride got in the way, and a few brave jumpers even risked double or nothing for the bigger prize. By the end of the day, plenty of cash changed hands - but the $100 bill stayed just out of reach.

Artificial scarcity might just be the key to saving your finances in 2026

Money is easier to spend than ever. Tap your phone, click a button, subscribe to something new—it all happens in seconds. The problem is that convenience can quietly drain your bank account before you even realize what happened. That’s why a growing number of people are experimenting with something called artificial scarcity. Instead of waiting until their money naturally runs out, they intentionally create limits on how much they can access or spend. It might sound restrictive, but in 2026, it could actually be one of the smartest ways to stay financially sane.

I bought a piñata, stuffed it with $1,000 in real cash - ones, fives, tens, twenties, fifties, and even a crisp $100 - and headed to 5th Street Alley in Eugene, Oregon. The rules were simple: one hit each, and you keep whatever falls out. Things escalated quickly once the first bills started raining down and word got out that Penny the Piñata was loaded. One swing led to a full decapitation and a $79 payday, and from there it was chaos until every last dollar dropped. Now the big question is… can we hit 600,000 subscribers so I can unleash the $10,000 piñata next?
