Imagine you waking up tomorrow and you can't get a bank account; you can't get a credit union account. Everything has gone away and you're now living in poverty.

The key to making money is to stay invested.

When it comes to tackling your financial goals, whatever they might be, there's no time like the present.

If you have credit card debt and credit card companies continue to close down the cards, what are you going to do? What are you going to do if they raise your interest rates to 32 percent? That's five times higher than what your kid is going to pay in interest on a student loan. Get rid of your credit card debt.

If there is anyone dependent on your income - parents, children, relatives - you need life insurance.

Owning a home is a keystone of wealth - both financial affluence and emotional security.

The things that matter most in this world are those that carry no price tag, for they can neither be bought nor sold at any price.
