I wanted to give people the ability once again to realize that they can still dream, but it has to be a new American dream that's based in honesty, integrity, and security - a dream that allows you to sleep at night, a dream that is attainable and allows you to stand in your truth.

I get more inspired by seeing everyday people succeed against the odds than anything else in life.

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".

Money is the currency of life because it is the external measurement system that all of us have as to how we judge where we are in our own lives.

Stop buying things you don't need, to impress people you don't even like.

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.

If you're financially responsible, your children have a much better chance to grow up financially responsible.
