What is the best advice you've ever received?
A fool and his money are easily separated. Don’t be a fool.
What is your best money saving secret/technique? (c'mon, everyone has at least one)
Do not pay full price for anything. Ever. Ask for a lesser price, use a coupon, wait for a sale, never pay full price. My biggest secret is simply asking for a price reduction. You will be surpised how much a smile, a little human descency, and simply asking will get you.

Forrest Gump. Forrest is a great character. Very well developed. The story line is humorous as well.
