Funny clip: 'Don't buy stuff you can't afford'

This video clip was floating around the buying and selling homes Forum.

Thought it should make the rounds here too.

What a great clip! I love Steve Martin anyway.

Seriously and sadly I have several friends who could really benefit from such simple books or magazines...They just don't 'get it'. They just don't seem to understand why it takes working every available chance to just make ends meet. They have lots of 'stuff' but are forever broke, and worried about making ends meet.

I 'know' it is to pay for the 'stuff' they couldn't afford.

I think the forum could maybe use some 'lightening up' so am bumping this up.

Enjoy!

That skit is a couple years old, but more relevant and timely than ever.

Sounds so ridiculous here, but it took us YEARS to "get it"!

Very funny and true.

I could take that tip sometimes. I don't really have the problem of buying stuff I can't afford.... but not making enough for the stuff I buy......j./k

more along the lines of buying stuff and feeling I have trouble with making the ends meet.

Is it too nuts to send this to a few people I know and saying, I think you really need to watch this.

A corollary is "Don't buy stuff you don't really need."

Example: I have a several bath towels that are ragged around the edges and two are torn at one side. However, being that they still function properly to dry oneself, and I'm not wearing them in public, there's no reason to trash and replace them.
