so, we're officially in some kind of recession or something, so here are some tips on how not to waste your money: if at all possible, avoid putting it in any of these ten places:
10. Homeless people: they don't NEED your money, there's places they could go for free food and shelter if only they'd give up their addictions. if you ask me, they've got it made. and then they have to go and defecate in the stairwell of the building you live in.
9. The North American Automobile Industry: they've got such bad business practices, it's no wonder they're going bankrupt. And they'll give you a shoddy product in return. Besides, used cars are almost as good, sometimes better. (so buy used and buy foreign.)
8. Book Retailers (like Chapters, Coles, Indigo, etc.): you can get it cheaper used (or online) AND it's the same product. Or you can even take it out of the library, but then you don't get to keep it.
7. Name Brand Clothing: we all know we're only paying for the name. if you NEED name brand clothing, buy it at winners or value village or something.
6. The Entertainment Industry: Movies, Music, and Games. If you can pirate it for free, why on earth should you pay for it?
5. The News Media and other Magazines and Newspapers: if they're not lying to you, they're probably publishing something that's not even news worthy. Who wants to pay to be lied to. If you want to read it, just go to the dentist's office. Or take it out at the library.
4. Your Union: they'll protect you if you give them a percentage of your earnings. sounds like the mafia to me. and, considering canada's labour laws, isn't the union a little redundant?
3. Post secondary educational institutions (colleges or universities): who here thinks that they're being overcharged for their education? enough said.
2. The Bank: they've got enough of it already, why do they want more? why pay a 'service charge' for a bank account when you can get one for no charge? besides, banks have the WORST service ever. they even tie their pens down, so you won't get ANYTHING from them free.
1. The Government: because they'll waste it. if it doesn't go into the paycheck of some totally useless government official--like a senator who'll spend most of the year in Mexico (when's the last time YOU got paid to live in Mexico?)--it'll pay for the implementation of some policies that the next government will likely reverse anyway. (gun registry, anyone?)
disclaimer: this is a joke. it's supposed to be funny, or something.

hi Pat; hahaha! how sad is it when you have to add a disclaimer stating that it's a joke. It reminds me of uncle Danny when he was very little, he used to rib us and laugh and say "hahaha, did you get it? it's a joke, you have to laugh!" or he'd give us a play-by-play account of what we were watching on t.v. Uncle Danny must've thought we were really dumb or something.
