Your goal should be to pay off your credit card bills in full at the end of each month and set aside money toward your emergency savings.

One has to ask what is the goal of life? What is the goal of life? My interpretation of it for myself, a very wise teacher once taught me this, is to meet the needs of the people, places and the times around you and offering those services to God.

As our net worth falls, so does our self-worth. Ironically, it's when we don't have it that we most feel we have to flaunt it.

Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.

The dream of having one's dream job turned into "Oh my God, I'll take any job. I've been out of work for two years now. I don't care what I do. I'll do anything because I don't have any money".

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.

Cut back your spending now.
