Haiku: The 22nd Best Way to Dispense Advice

September 24, 2008

Personal finance blogs tend to be chock full o’ advice- some good, some bad- and Money Grubbing Lawyer is no exception. What makes me so special? My advice is in the form of haiku!

Or at least it is today.

You, compound interest,

Are a force like no other.

Boundless growth and loss.

 

Buying a new car?

Smells nice, but I hope you like

Depreciation.

 

Dividend yielding

American shares go in

Your RRSP.

 

A flat screen TV

Would go quite nice over there.

You know you want it.

 

High interest debt first

Dave Ramsey’s snowball be damned!

It will save you cash.

And my personal favourite:

One box of condoms

Is infinitely cheaper

Than many diapers.

Feel free to add any haiku advice you may have (both advice in the form of haiku, and advice on haiku, or both, I suppose).

Condoms are cheaper
than diapers, but diapers are
cheaper than new rugs

Passive cash flow is the goal

MGL: I can’t even remember what a haiku is. I do know that yours are hilarious. You should make this a regular feature.

Thanks MGL. I just spit out the coffee I was drinking from laughter. You should warn readers about your last Haiku. Hilarious.
