Be as good to yourself as you are to those you love.

Opposites may attract, but I wouldn't put my money on a relationship of financial opposites.

A pile of bills and statements - whether paid or not - is a sign that someone is clueless about what's coming in and going out.

If you're saving for the long run, it's actually a good thing when the market is down because the more shares you have, the more you can potentially make when markets rise. And over time - decades, not months - the markets rise more than they fall.

The way to build your savings is by spending less each month.

If you have a 50 percent match and you get in trouble financially, you can either withdraw money as a loan, or withdraw the 50 percent match. If you take it out, you have to pay taxes on it, but you still come out ahead.

When you lose something in your life, stop thinking it's a loss for you... it is a gift you have been given so you can get on the right path to where you are meant to go, not to where you think you should have gone.
