Once your kids are grown and you know that you’re completely healthy, consider canceling your life insurance policy.
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.
Stop saying yes out of fear about what others will think about you and say NO out of love for yourself!
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.

You need face time, not computer time. When you’re in a tough job market, it’s the personal touch that gets you the job.
Lasting net worth comes only when you have a healthy and strong sense of self-worth.

Rich means different things to different people,” she wrote. “Financial security is your lifeblood. Creative freedom and expression is mine. If you can experience life in all its forms and experience that you are one with it, then you are the richest person in the world.

Self-worth equals net worth.
