This is the 1st part of a collection of widely used personal finance sayings, words, phrases, or quotes and my comedic explanation or definition behind the meaning of all of them listed below.

If you have any feedback or childhood stories about the phrases below please leave a comment so we can all laugh. Its Friday so lets have fun and keep the finance talk very light.
