DON’T PUT ALL YOUR EGGS IN ONE BASKET!!

To put all your eggs in one basket is to risk losing everything all at one time (hence the irony of the above joke)

EXAMPLES:

- Try to be a safe investor and never put all your eggs in one basket. If you put them all in the same basket then you risk losing everything if you drop it!

-We know you want to be a famous actor son but you should still graduate from college and not put all your eggs in one basket!!
