"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."--Jackie MasonA lot of us here at SOoS have a few problems with money. Perhaps we don't have enough of it or maybe we don't use it wisely, buying things we don't need, can't use, or don't have room for. Maybe we're behind on a few bills or one step ahead of the bill collector. No matter what the situation may be, for most of us money is no laughing matter.
However, attempting to find the humor in trying times is often what can get us thru those troublesome days. So this month's topic will be a collection of hopefully humorous quotes about one of the very things that give us the most trouble--money. But just so everyone will remember that money really isn't everything, I'm going to include at least one quote each day to remind each and every one of you that you are worth far more than your simple net worth. "Budget: a mathematical confirmation of your suspicions."--A.A. Latimer
"I'm living so far beyond my income that we may almost be said to be living apart."--e.e. cummings
"If your outgo exceeds your income, then your upkeep will be your downfall."--Bill Earle
"People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made."--Joan Rivers
"We must transcend the illusion that money or power has any bearing on our worthiness as children of God."--Steve Maraboli, Life, the Truth, and Being Free
