Financial Upheaval Gifts

Two ragged men talking about law

'Looks like your cash cow just got diverted to the slaughterhouse.'

"I just..."

"I don't consider a missing four million dollars to be 'monkeyshines'."

Wanna talk about it?

City Redundancies - In? Out?

'That's where they keep all the money I don't have anymore.'

'I'm sorry, Collin, but our Dreyfus Mid-Cap fund completely tanked, so we're going to have to let you go.'

'No trouble at all giving you an overdraft Mr Simkins - have mine!'

'Having the money tree has really helped out.'

The company's going bankrupt,you'll need to get someone in to bite my nails for me!

"I'm gonna ride it out!"

'Our nest egg finally got rotten.'

'I have good news and bad news. The good news is that you're going to get to relive the thrill of building your company up from nothing!'

'No, your stock didn't split. The fact it's worth half of what it was yesterday is just an amazing coincidence.'

Didn't know as much about the market as I thought I did.

'Our 401(k) is now a 201(k).'

Easy Budget Terms Are Not That Easy.

"We'll double our chances of recovery if we buy two lottery tickets."

"Right, all those in favour of a car boot sale."

"For financial reasons we're selling this brick and mortar home and becoming an online family."

"They say you're a miracle worker, so I'm wondering if you could part my sea of red ink?"

"Your money is no longer working for you. It got laid off."

"I'd like a job filled with adventure where there'd be a good chance of claiming compensation."

'Remember you asked me to turn around the business!'

The man who finally got his account in the black

"It's a bicycle. My dad lost our Christmas club money in Atlantic City so I won't get the rest of it until my birthday."

Moving. Mortgage payments bankrupted them. I guess "housebroken" means something different in their case.

'Your 401 (K) went down the drain, but if it's any consolation, you can keep the commemorative cup.'

"Unfortunately, my holding on to tech-stocks was faith-based."

'Read an investment book that changed my life...please help.'

In case of insolvency break glass.

''Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -- I took the one less traveled by'...which was a helluva dumb place for me to launch a burger franchise!'

Business jargon : 'significant negative growth' translated into : 'we are dead broke !'

"You've come to the right lawyer. I not only do divorces, I also specialise in bankruptcy proceedings."
