* MoneyDumb: Homer's severe lack of money-handling skills is what kicks off the plot of the episode. He declares bankruptcy without realising that bankruptcy laws have changed (after turning his basement into a recreation room, costing a fortune). It's also mentioned that he throws over a thousand dollars a month into local wishing wells (he tries to justify it by saying that "he's wishing for more money"), and has three subscriptions to the same magazine because he has three bathrooms.
