Money Morons

MONETARIUS MORONICUS: noun-
A mental affliction that causes its victims to self-inflict
financial wounds. It is most commonly caused by
inadequate financial education, vulnerability to
marketing messages and an inability to delay
gratification. Symptoms include high debt,
stress, depression, divorce, bankruptcy,
even suicide. Those who suffer from
Monetarius Moronicus are known as
"MONEY MORONS."

While it is not contagious, children of
adults suffering from Monetarius Moronicus
are at an increased risk to develop the condition.
Treatment is often hampered because victims tend to
ignore warning signs until the condition reaches critical status.
