Five Popular Money Quotes

01It’s summer – which means it’s time to slow down and relax. Where I am, most things are open – so I’ve been able to go swimming and go to parks and splash pads.  And of course, buy ice cream treats – one of the most important parts of summer.

So, I’m going to do a little bit of a lazy post today to celebrate summer – I’m going to put up five popular money quotes that I like.

  4. If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion. –George Bernard Shaw
  5. Money is a terrible master but an excellent servant. –P.T. Barnum
