Awww, man......

Okay, I won't give any cultural tips, but I *will* give
you something that was told to me, more of an old wives
tale or superstition. Don't have Ti plants near your
doors, either outside or inside. Ti plants are an
indicator/symbol of money and if they are by a door
to your house, the money will 'leave'.
