July 23rd - Money jokes. But seriously...

Q: What did the duck tell the store clerk?
A: Just put it on my bill!
Many money jokes are punny and harmless. But since so many of us deal with stress by making jokes, and money is a source of stress for many of us, money often becomes the thing we joke about. On the surface these jokes, sayings, and phrases seem funny, but their hidden meanings can be demoralizing.
For example:
"Treat yo’ self!"
Of course, life is to be lived! And spending money is a part of that. But when people use it as a justification for spending beyond their means or outside their plan, it becomes a flippant way of brushing off responsibility.
Just like all the cliches that have become toxic ways of looking at money, some of these not-so-funny money sayings need to go.
