Last Minute Money-Related Costume Ideas

Because this is the Billfold, and because we love you, here are some last-minute money-related costume ideas for those of you have fallen prey to procrastination but still want to be a good sport tonight.

If anyone decides to go as compound interest, please send us photos.

1. An accountant: glasses, calculator, power suit, briefcase full of W-2s

2. Your Parent’s Crushed Dreams: you in scrubs and a white labcoat, holding three babies

3. A Real Estate Broker: big hair, high heels, bright lipstick, doesn’t answer phone in timely manner

4. Janet Yellen: gray bob, skirt suit, tasteful statement necklace

5. A Person Who Maxes Out Their 401k: the same as you are now except your shoulders are relaxed and someone else has to buy your drinks

6. Dave Ramsey: bald, glasses, graying goatee, golf shirt, don’t want to talk about income inequality

7. CEO of a Fortune 500 Company: white, male, necktie

8. Sallie Mae: blonde wig, burning pile of money, horns, pitchfork

9. The Envelope System: either you dress as a huge envelope or just wear a normal outfit but carry all your money in envelopes — your call

10. Compound Interest: no idea, just wanted to remind you about compound interest
