Money is such an amazing teacher: What you choose to do with your money shows whether you are truly powerful or powerless.

The less money you owe, the less income you'll need and the less you'll have to save for tomorrow.

Who would you want to be giving you advice? Somebody who doesn't have any money?

The foundation of a financial fresh start actually has nothing to do with money or specific financial dos and don'ts.

They got married, they got divorced, and half their money goes out the window.

I always say, 'People first, then money, then things.'

If you wait until your children are high school seniors to spring it on them that there's not a whole lot of money for school, they won't have too many options.

Your goal should be to pay off your credit card bills in full at the end of each month and set aside money toward your emergency savings.

Those carrying a credit card balance should scale back to making the minimum payment each month so they have more money to put into savings.

I get so frustrated when people tell me it's unrealistic to create an eight-month emergency savings fund, or have money saved for a home down payment, or pay off their $5,000 credit card balance.
