The Opposite of More Money Than Sense?

[bpsmith]

Due to the typical “More money than sense brigade” comments being used continually this week again, in the interest of balance, I wonder what the reciprocal is?

So far I can only come up with the following two (forum friendly ones at least), but keen to hear what others think is the fair equivalent term?

1. Less Money than Moans
2. Got the Money, but prefer Martyrdom.

There must be better options out there...

Less money than sense?

More sense than money?

(Those are me, BTW - honest!)

Mo money mo problems

 

[gavroche]

Broke so only wishes.

From what I can see amongst the guys I ride with, "parenthood" would be a good name for it.

 

[Smokin Joe]

Neither money or sense.

If sense were money, (s)he'd be broke.

I like the old one, if common sense was dynamite, you wouldn't have enough to blow your hat off on a windy day.

Isn't one of the things one does in life to trade such sense as you have for money? Selling what nature, nurture and education have given you to the highest bidder.

If this is true, then it should be everyone's ambition to have more money than sense. It is a definition of success.

Not having more money than sense, would suggest the opposite: failure.

Got to be honest, it's not how I would measure success, but it takes all sorts.

Assuming you are replying to my (slightly ironic) post, I would have to agree. Financial success is a very small part of what makes up success in life.

More money than sense usually means wasting money.

@Slick, similar local one.
If common sense were dynamite, they'd not have enough to blow their nose.

Sorry, I was and agree wholeheartedly with this post, although you probably have had to have gained some sort of financial success to truly believe that.

Financially embarrassed.
