My IE

This year for my IE I am doing how the bank works and all about money. IE's are things we want to learn more about. I wanted to know how money is made and does money make us happy. I thought it would be fun to try doing stuff that I might not know much about.

Also at the and we need to create something to do with what we are doing for our IE's.
