My idea of being rich — or at least of feeling rich — is to have no debts, mortgage, or overdraft and to be able to pay all bills by return post. This may seem a fairly modest ambition, but if everyone in the West were in this position our societies would indeed merit the term "affluent," and the world would be a much happier place. — Paul Johnson, British historian and author

"The budget should be balanced,

the Treasury should be refilled,

public debt should be reduced,

the arrogance of officialdom should be tempered and controlled,

and the assistance to foreign lands should be curtailed lest

Rome become bankrupt."

Never work just for money or for power. They won't save your soul or help you sleep at night.

When ever I use to shop until I drop, my mom would say to me "Save your money, if you don't listen to me, let me tell you a hard head makes a soft a***" she now tells my sister that...lol. I know this is not exactly a quote regarding money but my mom always said it when ever I spent foolishly

“In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves...self-discipline with all of them came first.”

-Harry S Truman

I believe this quote can be applied to all facets of one's life. When you really get down to it, the key to any success, whether it be financial or personal is the ability to discipline yourself.

Re: Favorite quote or money motivator?

"When I was a stockbroker, I dealt with lots of people who had a million dollars in net worth. Here's what I learned. Becoming wealthy has almost nothing to do with income or investment know-how. Accumulating wealth comes from avoiding debt, living below your means, and investing sensibly and consistently. Among the hundreds of people I served during my years as a stockbroker, with the exception of those who inherited, nearly every wealthy person I met got that way by following this simple path. Conversely, among my myriad clients who gambled on options, commodities, penny stocks, sophisticated trading strategies, or other get-rich-quick schemes, not a single one was a long-term winner. Las Vegas offers better odds, and the drinks are free." ~~Stacy Johnson, Life or Debt, 2002, Ballantine Books, NY, creator and host of Money Talks TV
