    Very creative! I found this cute :)! Love it, especially “stingy”!

    Ahhhh… All of the sudden I had flashbacks to Bernouli’s principle and the venturi effect. I was hoping to get through the rest of my life without thinking about those things!

    Very creative! :)

    This is what everyone needs to know. It’s explained in the most simple and basic way one can imagine. This is great! I might link this article when writing a new post on my site. I hope you don’t mind! :D

    What is that, a valve near Emergency? Sudden flashes of Fluid Machinery from last century. :)

    Awesome illustrations! Loved it!

    Cool post - you are going to give Robert Kiyosaki a run for his money if you write a book!

  15. 15 Invest Free Money Nov 5th, 2007 at 8:20 pm

    Very funny. I saw my family, my in-laws, my parents, and my brother in there, 1, 6, 7, and 4 respectfully.

  16. 16 FinanceIsPersonal.com Nov 5th, 2007 at 9:48 pm

    That’s awesome. :D

  17. 17 Dickson Nov 5th, 2007 at 11:41 pm

    One couldn’t have done it better.
    Great illustrations :)

  18. 18 The Financial Blogger Nov 6th, 2007 at 2:56 am

    Nice,
    you could have change “3. Sucked by money leaks” by “3. Sucked by spouse and children!”

    Cheers,

    I love this. I especially love the emergency fund waiting off in the wings!

    Very creative post and a great way to illustrate money management.

  22. 22 KCLau Nov 7th, 2007 at 10:37 am

    Nicely done!

  23. 23 Roshawn Watson Nov 7th, 2007 at 1:04 pm

    Simply excellent!

  24. 24 golbguru Nov 7th, 2007 at 10:24 pm

    Wow.. honestly, I didn’t expect many people to respond to this one. :) It’s nice to see you all liked it. Thanks for the encouragement.

    Interestingly, from the comments, I was able to spot at least 2 mechanical engineering graduates among my readers! :)

  25. 25 Tamal Nov 8th, 2007 at 2:42 am

    Its fanatastic. I have gone through many books and you made it so simple. Wonderful. Basically I don’t have words to express. Keep your good work.

  26. 26 Marie Nov 8th, 2007 at 7:19 pm

    It’s nice too have a laugh when dealing with money. Thanks

  27. 27 Randy Nov 8th, 2007 at 9:14 pm

    It’s all Bush’s fault.

  28. 28 Danijel Nov 9th, 2007 at 2:10 pm

    Great illustration and theory. I’m trying to be happy :)

  29. 29 Webomatica Nov 12th, 2007 at 5:00 pm

    Great illustrations, especially the paycheck to paycheck one. If anybody needed more direct experience perhaps transporting water via a pipe would work.

  30. 30 Gaming the Credit System Nov 13th, 2007 at 11:39 am

    Man, I love your drawings! They are a great way to make a point!

    Heh heh — good analysis — maybe this is a dumb question, but have you read “The Tao of Warren Buffet,” by Marry Buffet and David Clark?

  33. 33 NewLifeFromHeaven Nov 20th, 2007 at 7:06 pm

    Thank you for explaining all of economics in a few simple diagrams! If only people took the time to understand how cash flow works…

  34. 34 J.C. Carvill Nov 22nd, 2007 at 4:40 am

    LOL..
    First time I ever read money flow illustrations with least words but yet most explanations.
    Picture said 100 words :)
    Even the sequence of those pictures explain that the last one should be the best one.

    Even though the stingy dude with the cork on the out flow are the funniest one for me.

    Great article (or great drawing) :)

    I tried to draw my “dream” diagram.

  37. 37 Tezza Dec 5th, 2007 at 3:50 am

    That was fantastic. Can’t get anymore to the point then that.

  38. 38 eve Dec 10th, 2007 at 9:57 am
