Don’t Buy Stuff You Can’t Afford

May 22, 2014 by Lazy Man 2 Comments

A ways back, I was reading Jason Cabler’s Celebrating Financial Freedom blog when I came across a post he highlighted. He found a hilarious Saturday Night Live video featuring Steve Martin and Amy Poehler. More importantly, it is extremely relevant to personal finance.

The bad news is that SNL doesn’t like letting people share their skits online. However, there is a 30 second clip here:

Now that you have a little flavor of the skit, here’s the whole skit nearly identical remade without the fancy actors or set:

If you could “magic eye” the two videos together in your mind, you’d almost have the real thing.

Sometimes we make things too difficult in personal finance. We spend time trying to figure out lending club earnings to a tenth or hundredth of a percent. While that can matter over the long term, sometimes it’s best to stick to the basics.

This is a good reminder that personal finance doesn’t have to be difficult. Hopefully you got a laugh out of it like I did.
