<prompt> Human: What are some of the dumbest finance related quotes you have ever heard from someone? I thought it would be fun to make this thread after hearing the following recently:You can afford it as long as you can afford to make the minimum payment - from a girl friend justifying her 2,000 handbag purchase on a 400 per month part time wage. The total cost of the bag will end up being over double for her if she keeps up her minimum paymentsThe lottery is an investment - from a coworker after me critiquing his budget and gambling habit when said coworker constantly complains about living paycheck to paycheck.  <response>: House values always go up.
