The way to build your savings is by spending less each month.
Men and women both have an equal capacity to make money, but they want money for different reasons. Men want money for power and women want it for comfort, and usually not their own comfort, but the comfort of others in their lives.
Financial freedom is our birthright, rather than the “slave walk” of the Monday through Friday grind.
I am a financial planner, not a psychiatrist, but I do know that your net worth will rise to meet your self-worth only if your self-worth rises to accept what can be yours.
Make yourself worthy of money and money will make itself worthy of you.
Every time you overhear something hurtful, I want you to do something kind for someone else.
We tend to focus on assets and forget about debts. Financial security requires facing up to the big picture: assets minus debts.
No well-planned retirement should be without long term care insurance. It is the very cornerstone of retirement security.
We never had it as rough as the kids have it today. Look at the price of a gallon of gas or a piece of real estate or a college education.

Each cent you apply toward diminishing your debt replenishes you.
There is nothing more beautiful than a confident woman.
I grew up thinking that because I couldn’t read, I was stupid and would never amount to anything. I worked my way through college as a waitress and thought I wasn’t capable of doing anything else. My grades in English were horrible, and I barely got through.
How you end something as profound and important as a marriage is a reflection of how you live your life – financially, emotionally, and spiritually.
When you start really respecting yourself, those you love, and your money, the result is that you start having control over your money. What follows from that is control over your life.
Money doesn’t bring courage, I learned. It’s the other way around. Once I took that lesson to heart, I began to rebuild my life.
Money is a living entity, and it responds to energy exactly the same way you do. It is drawn to those who welcome it, those who respect it. Wouldn’t you rather be with people who respect you and who don’t want you to be something you’re not? Your money feels the same way.
Messages about money are passed down from generation to generation, worn and chipped like the family dishes.
You must remember the value that you add to others and not just what others have added to you. That’s how we build self-worth, which, in my opinion, is just as important as net worth.
