Re-read the above sentence.

It is the heart and soul of the problem with a cashless society. By eliminating any emotional cost of spending our dollars we are not only saying goodbye to our future wealth but also saying goodbye to any accumulated wealth we might have earned form those dollars being set aside in savings and investment." -Michael Killian, Cashless Society, Invest In Your Debt Newsletter

"There are no such things as 'little things' financially - those bagels or morning coffees will kill you financially, eventually. So many people I work with constantly complain they have 'no money' but they show up with Tim Horton's coffee and a bagel each morning - poof - $5.00 gone a DAY. That's gotta be like $100.00 a month at least! Imagine what else you could do with that - retirement plan, a vacation. I quit doing the morning coffee thing for a year, saved $1200.00 and am going to Jamaica in January. I figured that in retrospect, I didn't want to say I spent $1200.00 on bagels! LOL It sounds so stupid but it's true!" -Cami, commentor on The Simple Dollar blog

"We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act but a habit." Aristotle.

"For behold, it is not meet that I should command in all things; for he that is compelled in all things, the same is a slothful and not a wise servant; wherefore he receiveth no reward. Verily I say, men should be anxiously engaged in a good cause, and do many things of their own free will..." -God
