          • "Money never remains just
            coins and pieces of paper. Money can be
            translated into the beauty of living,
            a support in misfortune, an education,
            or future security.
            It also can be translated into a
            source of bitterness."

            ~~Sylvia Porter

            • "It's amazing how
              fast
              later comes
              when
              you buy now!"

              • "I care for riches, to make gifts
                to friends, or lead
                a sick man back to health,
                with ease and plenty.
                Else small aid is wealth
                for daily gladness;
                once a man be done
                with hunger; rich and poor
                are all as one." ~Euripides, 413 B.C.

                    • "My friends, money is not all.
                      It is not money that will
                      mend a broken heart
                      or reassemble the fragments
                      of a dream.
                      Money cannot brighten
                      the hearth nor repair the
                      portals of a shattered home." ~A. Ward

                      • "Why would someone who is a millionaire need to budget?

                        Our answer is:


                        They became millionaires by budgeting
                        and controlling expenses, and they
                        maintain their affluent status the same way."

                        • "Careful saving acts like magic: once begun, it grows into habit. It gives a man a feeling of satisfaction, of strength, of security. The pennies he has put aside in his savings box, or in the savings bank, give him an assurance of comfort in sickness, or of rest in old age. The man who saves has something to weather-fend him against want; while the man who saves not has nothing between him and bitter, biting poverty." -S.Smiles
