Financial advice is free as the wind, but the consequences of using it often are painful.

A girl in tears came running to her father. "You gave me some bad financial advice." she said.

"I did? What did I tell you?" said the dad.

"You told me to put my money in that big bank, and now that big bank is in trouble."

"What are you talking about, that's one of the largest banks in the world," he said, "surely there must be some mistake."

"I don't think so," said the girl, "they just returned one of my checks with a note saying, 'Insufficient Funds'."
