Money you won't need to use for at least seven years is money for investing. The goal here is to have your account grow over time to help you finance a distant goal, such as building a retirement fund. Since your goal is in the future, money for investing belongs in stocks.
You must trust yourself more than you trust others. Pay attention to your inner voice - it will tell you if how and in what you are investing is right for you.
If you wait to see how much money you have left at the end of the month to put toward savings, the answer may be zero. So, set up an automated monthly transfer from your checking to savings account. Once you lock into that commitment, you'll be forced to scale back spending to make ends meet.
I want to conquer the unknown. I really, really want to live on the water and captain my own boat. I have dreamed of going around the world on a boat.
I generally encourage people to make good on debts when they have enough money to repay them.

You should keep a copy of your tax return indefinitely, but you need to save supporting documents for only three years.
A reverse mortgage is available to anyone who is at least 62 years old and owns a home outright, or has a small mortgage balance remaining.
I want to work with the Philippine people and make life better there; there are systems I can work with.
Remember what I always say: people first, then money, then things.
Give to yourself as much as you give of yourself! This means you have to put yourself first.
I get mad when people give me presents. I don't want them, I don't need them.
I always say, 'People first, then money, then things.'
