First is Lester in American Beauty. Quits his job and negotiates one year salary for severance. Spends his money just to have fun and be happy. Utters the most classic Hollywood line about personal finance, ever: "This isn't life - this is just STUFF. And it's become more important to you than living. Well, honey, that's just nuts". Absolutely classic.Your Money or Your Life makes brief cameo in this film. Second, is Peter from Office Space. " I don't like my job, and I don't think I'm gonna go anymore" and "You know, I've never really liked paying bills. I don't think I'm gonna do that, either." Absolutely beyond classic.
