Ah, the Budget Wall. There were bad games, good games (theoretically), and a lot of important lessons for a child to learn. But when I mentioned and briefly described this place to my thirteen year-old and he gave me kind of a blank look, I realized that this might need something more than a brief description, especially since this may perhaps be a more regional or even temporal phenomenon than I originally thought. So, here is an explanation of the Budget Wall, as well as some of the history that I have had during its time in my life.
