Money Quote Friday – Don’t Waste Time Edition.

Today’s quote really hit me for some reason, in that sometimes we really forget the essence of life…living. Forget money, forget your job, forget your favorite TV show…wasting your time is wasting your life. Sure, we all plop down on the couch and watch TV, or slack on the internet for hours on end, and there is nothing wrong with it. But every once in a while, give it a thought…are you wasting all of your time or being productive with at least some of your time? After all, money cannot buy you time or a life…just a thought.

Money Quote Friday – Buy An Elephant Edition.

This morning at the ATM machine, the guy next to me was on his cell phone talking to one of his buddies. This was what I heard:

“Well, they were offering no money down and no payments till 2010, so we bought the big one. Might as well get the biggest and most expensive plasma on that plan, right?”

Hearing this, I thought this quote was quite appropriate:

The only reason a great many American families don’t own an elephant is that they have never been offered an elephant for a dollar down and easy weekly payments. ~Mad Magazine

Money Quote Friday – Inflation Screwdriver Edition.

With Friday upon us, it is time yet again for another money quote that speaks volumes in just a few words:

Inflation hasn’t ruined everything. A dime can still be used as a screwdriver.~Quoted in P.S. I Love You, compiled by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

Remember when candy was like 10 cents at the 5 and dime? No? Then you are much younger than me. Remember when Motley Crue was popular? No? Then I am getting old for sure.

Money Quote Friday – What Wallets Are For.

I think this says it best:

Wallets are the fabricated items into which we put our fabricated money, which most people believe to be their possession of the realest value. ~T. Guillemets

When you think about it, money is nothing. Scary, huh?

Happy Friday! We are going on vacation all next week, but I have posts ready to go and some surprise guest posters as well, so the site will still have new stuff going up. I look forward to coming back rested and relaxed; it’s been a long time coming!

Money Quote Friday – No More Aching Back Edition

My new uber pricey but very fancy office/task/desk chair showed up 2 days ago and holy moly…what a difference. Just using it for one day has changed my seating position entirely and nothing hurts anymore. Amazing. I will write a little something about it next week. But for now, I offer you this…

Money and women. They’re two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money. ~Satchel Paige

Happy Friday.
