What happens to your money directly affects the quality of your life -- not your stockbroker's life or your banker's life, but YOUR life.

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.

To make the most of your money, I recommend sticking with mutual funds that don't charge a commission when you buy or sell.

It pays to be a fee fiend.

You can never solve a financial problem with money. The only way for you to have a larger net worth is for you to go within to see why you are going without.

When someone chooses to value herself over the things she can buy, true transformation begins.

In January we start saving money, getting out of credit card debt, funding our retirement accounts, and we're doing wonderful. Then, every single year like clockwork, starting in November, all of you fall into this trap that says, 'I have to buy this gift... I can't show up at this party and not have something for everybody.
