What's in a hat?

Because the hat was reduced in price from $20 to $1 not only is it more attractive to Noelle in terms of it's prudent fiscal sensibility; it somehow actually becomes more aesthetically appealing to her. The price of the hat causes it's physical appearance to change.

Logically, if I reduce my net worth to a dollar, I too should become more attractive.  Following that logic, if I could somehow find a way to diminish my assets to a negative number - if I could somehow be worth less than zero dollars - I will be so magnetically enchanting she may be driven to insanity.  Hm.  That wouldn't be good.  

Noelle:  Don't read my credit card statements.  I want you to love me for who I am, not what I don't have.
