I could ramble on about finance forever, but so many people before me have already said it better. Below are some of my favorite quotes about money, work, etc., from Shakespeare to
Office Space:
Neither a borrower nor a lender be, For loan oft loses both itself and friend, And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.—Polonius, in Shakespeare's
HamletLack of money is the root of all evil.—George Bernard Shaw
Bob: Looks like you've been missing a lot of work lately. Peter: I wouldn't say I've been missing it, Bob. —
Office Space Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.—Woody Allen
A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don't need it.—Bob Hope
Dogs have no money. Isn't that amazing? They're broke their entire lives. But they get through. You know why dogs have no money? No pockets.—Jerry Seinfeld
A nickel ain't worth a dime anymore.—Yogi Berra

It's not a question of enough, pal. It's a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn't lost or made, it's simply transferred from one perception to another. - Gordon Gekko, Wall Street.
@sarah - we live in jersey too! haha asian accent + jersey accent = fail x]
Money can't buy friends, but it buys a better class of enemies.
Peter Gibbons: What would you do if you had a million dollars?
Lawrence: I'll tell you what I'd do, man, two chicks at the same time, man.
Peter Gibbons: That's it? If you had a million dollars, you'd do two chicks at the same time?
Lawrence: Damn straight. I always wanted to do that, man. And I think if I had a million dollars I could hook that up, cause chicks dig a dude with money.
Peter Gibbons: Well, not all chicks.
Lawrence: Well the kind of chicks that'd double up on a dude like me do.
Peter Gibbons: Good point.
I'm going back to a better class of losers; this uptown living really got me down.
