New Deceptive Money Posting – Bank of America charging $1 per debit?

New Prudent Money Outlook – The One Reason this Bear Market Is not Over

OK, I typically don’t reproduce e-mails.  However, I really found this to be funny.   I think that we can all use some humor.  Full disclaimer – I did not write or come up with this list and have no idea who created it.  

The Top Twelve Indicators that the Economy is Bad  

12.   CEO’s are now playing miniature golf. 
11.   I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail. 
10.   I went to buy a toaster oven and they gave me a bank.
  9.   Hot wheels and Matchbox car companies are now trading higher than GM in the stock market. 
  8.   Obama met with small businesses -  GE, Pfizer, Chrysler, Citigroup and GM, to discuss the Stimulus Package. 
  7.   McDonalds is selling the 1/4 ouncer. 
  6.   People in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and are learning their children’s names. 
  5.   The most highly-paid job is now jury duty. 
  4.   People in Africa are donating money to Americans. Mothers in Ethiopia are telling their kids, “finish your plate; do you know how many kids are starving in America?”
  3.   Motel Six won’t leave the lights on. 
  2.   The Mafia is laying off judges. 

And my favorite indicator of all. 

  1. If the bank returns your check marked as “insufficient funds,” you have to call them and ask if they meant you or them.
