Funny Money Friday: Debt is the New Money

Money doesn't have to be boring! Each week, CreditBloggers.com takes a look at the lighter side of the personal finance world in a series called Funny Money Friday.

Its rare and magical thing when you can combine consumer advocacy with humor.

The Internets Celebrities and Consumerist.com have created a short video expose about check cashing in low income neighborhoods and how it compares to traditional banking. It's the best thing I've seen online  this year; hilarious and educational:

My two favorite lines are "debt is the new money" and "You know you've made it when you move from check cashing fees to ATM fees."

Note: the video contains a few instances of strong language and may be NSFW.

You know you're old when you have to look up Internet lingo like NSFW. In the hope that I'm not the only old fogey who enjoys Creditbloggers.com, NSFW means Not Safe for Work.

Have a great weekend, everyone!
