Cash Quote by Stanley Victor Paskavich

“I often find human behavior amusing. Like having a full refrigerator of food to eat yet buying fast food instead. If you learn to conquer the two big N words. Niceties vs Necessities. You might actually have some funds for the hard times that come.” quote by Stanley Victor Paskavich
