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

The truth will always lead you to a better place and a bigger place. And every single setback, every single one, has led me - not in my time, but in the time that it was meant to happen - to a place that I never in a million years could have imagined that I could go or become.

I simply want you to give to yourself as much as you give of yourself. By taking care of yourself financially, you will truly be able to take care of those you love.

Thoughtful financial planning can easily take a backseat to daily life.

Bad debt is sacrificing your future day needs for your present day desires.

I'd rather make 50 percent of something than 100 percent of nothing.
