Michael ist gar nicht erfreut, als er mitbekommt, dass Janet den Kindern neben dem Taschengeld auch noch ein paar Scheine zusteckt. Damit sie endlich den richtigen Umgang mit Geld lernen, macht der Familienvater seinen Sprösslingen gegen den Willen seiner Frau einen Vorschlag: Sie sollen mit dem ihnen zur Verfügung gestellten Kapital ein Geschäft ihrer Wahl eröffnen. Am Ende der Woche wird Michael das Geld, das sie bis dahin verdient haben, verdoppeln ...
Michael decides to teach the kids how to handle money due to their inability of spending the allowance money wisely. He proposes that each kid comes up with their own business, and at the end of the week he'll double whatever profit they made. After a slow start selling ""lemon aids"", Kady discovers that garage sales are a very profitable business – especially when you're selling perfectly good appliances for very cheap prices. Claire starts her very own beauty salon, using Jay's expensive hair care products and the good towels. And Jr. chooses gambling to make money, something Michael devotes his full attention to prove being wrong – especially after losing his 3,000 dollars golf clubs to Jr. on blackjack – by buying a slot machine and making Jr. lose all the money he made.
Pour qu'ils apprennent à gérer leur argent de poche, Michael propose à ses enfants de monter leur propre affaire. A la fin de la semaine, il doublera tous les bénéfices qu'ils auront obtenus…
Jr., Claire e Kady hanno speso tutta la loro paghetta in un solo giorno. Michael, piuttosto seccato, decide allora di far capir loro il valore del denaro.
Michael decide ensinar as crianças como economizar o dinheiro que ganham, quando fica sabendo que elas gastaram toda a mesada da semana em um único dia. Ele propõe que cada um deles inicie seu próprio negócio, e no fim da semana ele irá dobrar todo dinheiro que eles conseguirem ganhar. Junior decide apostar seu dinheiro para aumentar sua "fortuna", e Michael tenta provar que ele está errado ao fazer isso.
Michael fica feliz que seus filhos abrem o próprio negócio.
