Family Budgeting Pillows

Back pain - Back to school.

'Hunting and gathering together saved our marriage, but the cost of daycare is killing us!'

Children are expensive

Girl to mother: 'I could use more disposable income.'

'Sorry kids, we've had to introduce parenting fees.'

"Your mother and I have decided to introduce negative pocket money."

"It's time to go home and put our parents into a panic over the upcoming back to school shopping season..."

"Tell me again about the olden days, Gramps, when people stopped spending after they ran out of money."

"Yes, we have three children. Their names are time guzzler, career killer, and cost factor."

"Is this to make me feel bad for not getting you that laptop?"

'What I don't understand is how all three of us managed to get the figures wrong!'

Golly, �1m a year isn't too much. I don't know why your shareholders don't understand you.

"This is not permanent...we'll be back as soon as things start to look up."

"We seem to be spending more on defence than on things to defend"

"I need to see your budget proposal."

"Who's got the hammer?"

'The meek shall inherit the debt. The rich shall inherit the loopholes.'

'What do you do with the time you save?'

'Me, I don't spend my pocket money: I hoard it...'

"We were able to retire 6 years early by canceling cable & eliminating anything fun."

Where are they now?: Office of Management & Budget - Grumpy.

"I'm sorry, but my costs were way out of control."

"They're on special offer so I got three times more than I could ever use for twice as much as I could afford!"

'Can we afford you to save us money by repairing the car yourself...?'

"They've given me the Lion's share of budgetary constraints."

"Microwave to replace gas or oil central heating?" "Yes. Think how cheap it is to microwave a cup of tea!"

'You can forget the Captain's table-we're not paying that kind of money just to eat with the crew!'

"I can always tell when Philip is working on family finances. A 'cursor' appears on both sides of the computer screen."

"Basically, your new job here at the Treasury Department implementing the bailout is simple, Grayson, just grab and armful of money and run..."

"At $4 a dozen, it's hard to balance a career and a family."

'If by 'great', you mean 'terrible', then yes, we have plenty of great beers for under $4.00 a six-pack.'

Thrift: have your arms and legs amputated, use a pillow for a bed!

"I want a top education, but don't milk me dry with school fees."
