Your Money Beliefs in Rhyme

[1wisdomseeker]

Pay yourself first,
Spend less than you make.
If you can't pay cash,
don't buy for heaven's sake.

[1wisdomseeker]

(from the frau)
Hubby likes to save.
Wifey likes to spend.
Now we're getting old,
what we wear - "depends."

OK, I'm a rebel ... but I prefer haiku (which don't rhyme!)

these debts overwhelm
online seeking assistance
i am not alone

retirement woes
didn't learn a thing about
compound interest

december danger
shopping cart filled with too much
january debt

get out the checkbook
and render unto Caesar
curse you, IRS!

toss your pearls to swine
but don't ask me for a loan
or raise my taxes

if I'm elected
there will be no new taxes
well, maybe a few

itemization
delays taxes for a month
slow poke IRS

they may now call it
income redistribution
but it's still bullsh*t

[Cass]

Use it up,
wear it out.
Make it do,
or do without.

[tea4me]

I owe,
I owe,
It's off to work I go.

[debtheaven]

Our rentals can be such a pain
Our tenant from hail was a terrible drain
We have much better tenants now
But the flat is still not yet a cash cow

[Deleted]

Not a rhyme but a $ poem I've always liked;
Rags make paper
paper makes money
money makes banks
banks make loans
loans make poverty
poverty makes rags

[Urban Chicago]

You must pay now,
you can't pay later
'Else we'll sic you with our 'gator.

[Clifford]

Looked at the balance, some money to blow.
Took a vacation to play in the snow.
Skied down the mountain, lips curled in a smirk.
Alas now its over, and back to work.

[Clifford]

Read all the books,
They all sound the same.
Bottom line is trust no one,
or it's you who's to blame.

[8 Bit WWBG]

Learn who to tip,
pay cash for your car.
Spend less than you earn,
and you'll be a star.

[formerexpat]

Money comes
Money goes
It's so much more fun
spending it on hookers and blow

[Cookies Galore]

Cash Rules Everything Around Me

Dolla dolla bill y'all!

[formerexpat]

Buy too much now
not saving for another day
and you’ll end up working
until you are old and gray

Truth.

[nalto]

I don't have any money to pay the rent,
My ex took it all, my last red cent,
I don't have to worry 'bout making ends meet,
Cuz from now on, I'll suck on the gov'ment teet.

[debtheaven]

Hey Expat what would your wife say?! LOL

I was thinking I need to write a sonnet but I can't be bothered. Yes, I was an English major with a specialization in poetry LOL.

[formerexpat]

Hey Expat what would your wife say?! LOL

You've made your bed,
now shut up and lay
and save your bitchin
for another day

Saving your money is always smart
With it you should never part
CD’s, IRA’s, coin and cash
All of these you should be trying to stash
Credit cards can be a wonderful tool
But paying interest makes you a fool
Never borrow money to family or friends
Do this and the relationship usually ends
Pay attention to where your money does go
Make sure to everyone you do not owe
Work hard and keep your eye on the prize
So you will be rich until your demise
For you want to be able to live well and retire
And not run out of money before you expire!

[BeenThere...DoneThat...]

toss your pearls to swine
but don't ask me for a loan
or raise my taxes




...here's a limerick for the collection:

My money beliefs set to rhyme?
I'm wondering, "have I the time?",
and, "What's it to you,
'bout what I would do,
'bout anything on my own dime?"

;D


...oh, and "go, Steelers!"

[Nazgul Girl]

Keep what you have,
Try to save more,
Be sure to your life,
But stay out of the store !


Everyone's got a story,
Everyone's got a schtick,
Everyone spends on weird stuff,
I wonder what makes them tick.


I enjoy spending time with you,
I like to hear about your dog,
I refuse to feel sorry for you,
When you spend $$ like a hog.


Everyone thinks their rhyme makes reason,
Everyone thinks they're full of sense.
Everyone thinks they're the smartest,
Till their pockets have but one pence.
Then it's whining about no vacation,
Then it's Tough Times, woe is me,
Many pay day loans have been taken.
I sit and eat PB&J, time to put up my fence.

[robbase]

if you got money and you know it
take it out your pocket and show it
than throw it
like this away, that away
this away, that away
