Sounds like a trick question, doesn't it?

But if you think about it, pets need lots of things—like a bed or a crate, a collar and leash and maybe some toys to play with. That doesn't even include what it costs for food and regular visits to the vet.

So how do you find out the cost?

If you want to find out the true cost of a free pet, visit our Googolplex 5-Spot site, click on the "Calculators" tab and look for the "Pet Costs Calculator." You might have to do a little research (with your parents' help) but you'll probably be surprised at how expensive it is to own a pet.

But there's more to 5-spot than just calculators—you'll also find games, puzzles, riddles, interesting stories to read (like how $5 bills have secret ways of outsmarting thieves), and so much more!

With your parents' permission, you can even register on 5-Spot to earn Clubhouse Cash that you can spend to decorate your own virtual clubhouse. You can also apply to be a member of our Clubhouse Crew. And if you're selected, you'll earn real money for sharing your thoughts and stories with us, and that money will help build your savings account.
