“Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man’s lifetime income – which he then spends sending his son to college”. – Bill Vaughn
“He that is of the opinion money will do everything may well be suspected of doing everything for money”. – Benjamin Franklin
“Our incomes are like our shoes; if too small, they gall and pinch us; but if too large, they cause us to stumble and to trip”. – John Locke
“I‘m so naive about finances. Once when my mother mentioned an amount and I realized I didn’t understand, she had to explain: ‘That’s like three Mercedes.’ Then I understood”. – Brooke Shields
“If hard work were such a wonderful thing, surely the rich would have kept it all to themselves”. – Lane Kirkland
“Someone stole all my credit cards, but I won’t be reporting it. The thief spends less than my wife did”. – Henry Youngman

Financial Joke:
A tour guide was showing a tourist around Washington, D. C. The guide pointed out the place where George Washington supposedly threw a dollar across the Potomac River. “That’s impossible,” said the tourist. “No one could throw a coin that far!” “You have to remember,” answered the guide. “A dollar went a lot farther in those days.”
Being successful:
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.

I terribly agree with the first one. 😀 The money that your dad spent on your education will in turn be used on your child. It’s an endless cycle.
