I took this advice to heart.

I'm still broke as f*ck, but at least now I don't owe money to anyone.

[dorothyc]

I love Steve Martin’s confused and dumb expression.

I show this in my financial literacy 30 class every semester when I introduce Credit. It's such a simple concept, yet so hard for many to grasp. Teach them young and hopefully they'll make great financial choices when credit becomes available to them. Thanks for the skit!

"The quickest way to double your money is to fold it once and put it in your pocket."

I love showing this to my kids because it's hilarious, practical, and completely rated G.

[michaelbarrasso]

This is Dave Ramsey's favorite sketch.

Chapter 3 but only one page long. Lololol.

Also, Steve Martin's confused face is hilarious.

As an A/C contractor, I’ve seen people with brand new cars in the driveway, brand new furniture and electronics, but can’t even get a $2, 000 loan to fix their A/C in the Texas summer. Sad.

I've watched this video during our debt free journey and took it to heart, fast forward to 2022 and this years is the last year of our mortgage being paid off, our last debt. It was a well worth sacrifice.

[krankrocker]

My dad always told me, "You can't save money by spending it."

[BazColne]

If I keep listening to this, I just know I'll grasp it with time.

[toontownrules]

SNL, I didn't ask for this personal attack

[ZosiaSamosiaOo]

This is actually an excellent piece of advice. :p

[MightyGreenLantern]

Most people probably got better financial advice from this 2 and a 1/2 minute video than they get in all their lifetimes

[buddyholly]

Omg i rmr this sketch when it originally aired. I was watching with my deadbeat ex. I was laughing, he wasn't. Changed my life lol.

[Shindai]

This should be a real printed pamphlet

[sarcasmo]

It's sad how many people need to hear this

[cossicrots]

My financial literacy teacher once told me, "The best time to get a loan is never."

[xcwarrior]

I think SNL now qualifies as educational programming. I mean, you think it's a comedy skit, but honestly, it's the money advice 99% of America needs to hear.

I love this. I can watch it over and over. Credit card debt is no joke
