I have come to think that money is very much like a person, and it will respond when you treat it as you would a cherished friend - never fearing it, pushing it away, pretending it doesn't exist, or turning away from its needs, never clutching it so hard that it hurts. ... if you tend it like the living entity it is, then it will flourish, grow, take care of you for as long as you need it.

If a child, a spouse, a life partner, or a parent depends on you and your income, you need life insurance.

If the only way you can build an emergency fund is to pay the minimum due on your credit card, that is what you need to do.

Just because you can afford it doesn't mean you should buy it.

Every time you overhear something hurtful, I want you to do something kind for someone else.

True generosity must benefit both parties. No woman can control her destiny if she doesn't give to herself as much as she gives of herself.

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.
