Interpretation
In this one-liner, Mason turns a seemingly prudent boast—having “enough money” for life—into a joke about the fragility of financial security and the inevitability of spending. The punchline hinges on a universal truth: money only “lasts” in the abstract, because ordinary life constantly presents temptations and necessities that erode any fixed sum. The humor also reflects a classic stand-up persona: self-aware, slightly anxious, and skeptical about prosperity. Beneath the gag is a wry comment on consumer desire and the way modern life makes “enough” feel perpetually conditional.
