Thursday, August 21, marks the kickoff of an absolutely epic marathon of "The Simpsons" on the FXX channel. Starting at 10 a.m., the network will show every Simpsons episode ever (#everysimpsonsever in social media-speak) back-to-back in chronological order, with "The Simpsons Movie" thrown in as well. That's a total of 552 episodes—25 seasons of the longest-running sitcom and longest-running animated show ever—running 24 hours per day for 12 straight days, ending on Labor Day, September 1.

In honor of the marathon, we thought it would be fun to reflect on what some of the most colorful and memorable characters on "The Simpsons" have taught us by their good (or, more likely, bad) examples. Here are 11 money lessons from "The Simpsons," each with a memorable quote to bring the message home.
