In my personal experience, people make bank jokes only in two cases: they have either never taken out a loan or their relationship with the bank is so bad, there is nothing left but to laugh.
Money jokes aside (money pun intended!), dealing with your finances can be pretty overwhelming, and that’s why being financially literate comes in really handy. You don’t need to become an economist or a banker, but having an elementary understanding of how to manage your resources will help you not only better distribute your income but also find ways to increase it.
An interesting thing with jokes on finance is that whether you find them funny or not, many of them can actually teach you some financial wisdom. However, if you want to share a money joke with your friends or colleagues, make sure you know that they will take it well. Money and finances can be a sensitive topic, and in some societies it is even considered taboo, so you don’t want to offend people you care about.
But if you enjoy jokes about money, financial specialists, and the economy in general, we have a collection of jokes about banking you could read while waiting for your turn in the bank. If you are feeling especially adventurous, you can even share them with your bank operator and have a good laugh together.

At a country-club party a young man was introduced to an attractive girl. Immediately he began paying her court and flattering her outrageously.
The girl liked the young man, but she was taken a bit aback by his fast and ardent pitch.
She was amazed when after 30 minutes he seriously proposed marriage.

"Look," she said. "We only met a half hour ago. How can you be so sure? We know nothing about each other."
"You're wrong," the young man declared. "For the past 5 years I've been working in the bank where your father has his account."

Two accountants go to their credit union on their lunch break, when armed robbers burst in.
While several of the robbers take the money from the tellers, others line the customers, including the accountants, up against a wall, and proceed to take their wallets, watches, and other valuables.

While this is going on accountant number one jams something in accountant number two's hand.
Without looking down, accountant number two whispers, "What is this?"
To which accountant number one replies, "it's that $50 I owe you."

There is a banker, a builder and an ordinary working-class guy.
One day, they find a magic lamp, which they rub, and sure enough out pops The Genie.
"Masters, I will grant each one of you one wish for anything that you desire"
The banker shouts, "Me first, me first"
But the others have to wait for a very long time because the banker is having trouble thinking of anything that he has not already got.
He has more money than his young trophy wife could possibly spend, several houses in exotic locations, a private jet, a garage full of expensive supercars and so on.
The recent riots in London and the Occupy Wall St movement lay heavy on his mind when he decides what he really wants.
"A 20' (6m) high security wall all around the city of London to keep protesters and tourists out."
"Your wish is granted, master" says The Genie.
"Me next, me next" says Bob the Builder, who has fallen on hard times because the government won't invest in infrastructure.
"I want an enormously profitable contract to build the wall"
"And your wish is granted, master."
Now it's working-class guy's turn.
"Well, before I make a wish, I would like to ask Bob a question."
"Well, before I make a wish, I would like to ask Bob a question."
"By all means, go ahead" says The Genie.
"Bob, will your wall be waterproof?"
"Yes, of course" says Bob, "my wall will have no expense spared, it will be made using only the very finest materials, it will be built by the best craftsmen, and it will conform to the very highest standards."
"Good" says the working-class guy while turning to The Genie.
"Fill it up."
