So I ran into a friend today, who began to tell me of his financial woes. It reminded me of the story of a man who received a telephone call from a debt collection agency. "Sir, we need to get a payment from you right away," said the voice on the phone.
"Well, that just might happen," the man responded. "I have my own way of paying my bills. You see, I put all my bills every month into a hat. I pull one randomly and pay the bill. Then I pull another and pay the bill and so forth until I am out of money."
The voice on the phone replied, "That is the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard! That is so irresponsible! That is...."
"Hey," the man cut in. "Show some respect. Otherwise, I'm taking you out of the hat!"
All joking aside, for a slightly better guide to family finances, try:
