Show Quotes 

Knowing even a little bit about money makes things easier.

You are responsible for your financial situation.

Take the money out of your hands before you spend it. You cannot act as if it’s burning a hole in your pocket.

Do your research and start investing as soon as possible! Time is money; if you are not investing, you’re losing.
