Are these financial principles a little too simple? I don't think so.

I just came across this very humorous YOU TUBE video on the most profound but simple of financial principles.

But why is this so humorous?

Is it because of the lack of common financial sense in our culture today that this principle appears to be such a novel thought?

Or is it the truth that is so rare that makes it so funny?

What do you think?
