Florida tells Thelma........"Child we got no budget" - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

TVFactFan · 03-08-2014, 04:17 PM

Why wouldn't they have a budget if there was some income coming in even though it may not have been much?

So that's was a problem right there with how the Evans couldn't manage the little money they had LOL

The only time there is no budget is when there is NO INCOME

I guess Florida didn't bother handling the finances from what little James made. Sometimes James had at least two jobs. Florida should have been putting some money aside for bills and food.

Exactly, you have to put something to the side or stick to a number from the flow of cash that is coming in.

even if it's $5 a week

No wonder they were always broke! Florida sucked at managing the finances. Since the husband was earning the money, it was Florida's responsibility to handle bills and stuff. But she didn't do squat.

"Child, we got no budget" sounds like the episode with the blind encyclopedia sales man. Their phone was disconnected in that episode. Poor Wilona was taking messages for all the Evans kids on her phone.

yeah that was the one, and why even buy the books if you know money was tight?

Just like me right now, I need a haircut but the money is not there so I have to wait for 2 weeks from now lol

The only reason they bought those encyclopedias is because James felt bad for the blind man. I liked when J.J. said "I'll make the extreme sacrifice and give up my weekly Big Mac."

Couldn't they just had gone to the Library to read about Black History?

That was truly a stupid spending move

I'm no pushover like the Evans'. "Sorry you're blind, mister, but I'd rather eat than read."

Florida's line in this episode

"Even if its free we can't afford it". Lol

"Bduget? Child, we ain't got no budget!" That line was hysterical to me, God! That was funny!

It should been a budget. Lol. Everytime I go in the market I stick to a number and do everything I can to stay under it.

ThomasE · 03-20-2014, 04:32 PM

That was just straight up hilarious!!! That always stood out to me.

Brieannas21 · 03-23-2014, 11:03 AM

They didn't have a budget because they did not have that much money to budget. If you're only having meat once a week then you're just getting by.

When you have a flow of cash coming in there is always something to budget
