Hello, all. I’m MoneyRaptor and I’ve been invited here to help out poor Uncle Cashzilla. As he gets older he gets forgetful (see 2008) but hopefully that’ll be the last time anything of that sort happens… at least for a while.

“Attempted humour”
Naturally there aren’t many personalfinanosauri out there, but we were chuffed to pieces to be spotted by t.v people.
