I understand why many are still poor or struggling to make just a middle-income lifestyle. I'm a fiscal conservative, but I also have compassion for people who make financial mistakes.

Money may not buy love, but fighting about it will bankrupt your relationship.

A smart couple with a healthy financial relationship is always talking about money and how they're handling it. If there's a medical emergency or a job loss, talk about it. If there's a windfall, talk about it. Your financial situation is a constantly changing thing.

No matter who is in the White House, I just keep doing what my grandmother taught me. Hate debt. Save. The best any of us can do really.

If we don't want the companies to cheat on us, we shouldn't be cheating on them.

I love teaching people how to handle their money and I've built a brand on that skill.

You'll feel better when you get all that debt off your back.
