maybe he will advise you to get a job?

Bleeb is being a little naughty again.

Sure thing sir, just sit down over there and wait for a few minutes. Just pay no attention to the sirens that you hear approaching.

One time I had $100,001.

Isn’t the threshold where financial advisors will begin to even see you around $500k?

Sweat

It looks like she had her thumb blown off.

They will just sell you a useless mutual fund.

Sounds like my ex wife…

“… and do you think he can help me reach my financial goals sooner by providing me with a sound strategy whereby I can create more wealth, reduce my costs, and/or eliminate my debts?… ‘cause I wanna make the best use of this hunnerd grand!”

He probably wants to make sure that he invests wisely this time so he doesn’t have to do this again.

That poor teller has worked her fingers to the bone. Fortunately her thumb looks strong enough for texting.

He’s off today but I can help you with your loot!

Great job, Bleeb. Some days are better than others, and today’s positioning is ideal for observational purposes!

Sound financial advice: give the money back.

Yeah! Bleep is back!

“I give him all my money, and he buys nice things for his family.”

If he had done this when he was younger, and just committing petty shoplifting he wouldn’t be doing this now.

The advisor will probably tell him to deposit the $100,000 in the bank…

You know he’ll charge up to 4% commission fee right? But then again who’s got the gun

Whom you give all your personal information to.

He’s got good trigger finger control.

I guess First and Second National Banks didn’t buy his shtick.

“And take $20,000 out for you to have that thumb taken care of!”
