Great collection. Per your request, here are a few more:

“When your outgo exceeds your income, your upkeep becomes your downfall, and your assets wind up in jail.”
-Mike Gilchrist

“Our house had wall-to-wall carpeting, and back-to-wall financing.”
-Mike Gilchrist

“Buy now, pay later?” More like “Today the thrill, tomorrow the kill.”
-Mike Gilchrist.

“A nickel isn’t worth a dime today.” -Yogi Berra

When asked “What would you do if you found a million dollars?” Yogi Berra responded, “if the guy was poor, I’d give it back”

If you lend someone $20 and never see that person again, it was probably worth it.

[...] Five Cent Nickel has a guest post from Pinyo at Moolanomy. He relates an intersting story about the words that the financially challenged use to justify some of their shortcomings. Very interesting. Maybe I should include some of these in my post Funny Financial Phrases. [...]

Ron,

You should have titled it “Favorite Funny Money Quotes”

Good collection.

BTW – I discovered your blog through Ciaran’s StumbleUpon page.

loved this post…i collect quotes and found most of these to be both humorous and thought provoking. It’s truly wise (thus not surprising to find here) to listen to the advice of those who have come before us.

That said, I love the Mark Twain quote the best I think. =)
