It's impossible to map out a route to your destination if you don't know where you're starting from.

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

We each focus on what we're going to buy, but that's an incorrect focus. Focus instead on why you want to spend the money on this or that. What feeling in you does it satisfy?

They got married, they got divorced, and half their money goes out the window.

You're thinking to yourself, 'How is it possible that I am going to pay back $150,000 in student loans? I'm never going to pay that back. What am I going to do?' Listen to me and listen to me good, class of 2013. I want you to think back to all of these things you said to yourself, 'I can't do that. I can't palpate a cow. And what's worse, palpating a cow or taking semen from a horse?' But you did it, didn't you?

It's better to do nothing with your money than something you don't understand.

We women know how to take care of everybody so well. But the one person we have written out of the equation is us.
