If the only way you can build an emergency fund is to pay the minimum due on your credit card, that is what you need to do.
Put your financial life on autopilot as a form of ‘forced’ saving.
The way to build your savings is by spending less each month.
Nothing’s greater in life to see somebody who doesn’t have start to value who they are and, as soon as they feel valued, they can change this world too.
Here’s my gift-giving rule: Respect your current financial situation.
If a child, a spouse, a life partner, or a parent depends on you and your income, you need life insurance.
To make the most of your money, I recommend sticking with mutual funds that don’t charge a commission when you buy or sell.
Women are fighters. They will fight and fight and fight to get what they need, especially if they have children.
Cleanliness is a state of purity, clarity, and precision.
It’s better to do nothing with your money than something you don’t understand.
If you make time each month to give your money some attention, you’ll start the next year in fabulous financial shape.
If you have debt I’m willing to bet that general clutter is a problem for you too.
You have to see every potential roadblock as an opportunity and a benefit.
Imagine you waking up tomorrow and you can’t get a bank account; you can’t get a credit union account. Everything has gone away and you’re now living in poverty.
The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim, but it’s always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance.
Like your home’s closets, your financial clutter needs an overhaul every now and again, and the payoff will go far beyond the psychic satisfaction of neatening up.
Every morning I wake up, I can’t even wait to go and see what life can I change today. It doesn’t have to be a lot of lives, but I can change one life a little bit here, a little bit there, and I hope that everything I create, people know that.
If you’re saving for the long run, it’s actually a good thing when the market is down because the more shares you have, the more you can potentially make when markets rise. And over time – decades, not months – the markets rise more than they fall.
We women know how to take care of everybody so well. But the one person we have written out of the equation is us.
The advantage of online banking is that you can pay bills superfast, and your account is automatically credited or debited for each deposit and payment, making it easier to stay on track.
