I have a lot of them, but one of my favorites goes something like this:

"The real measure of your wealth is how much you'd be worth if you lost all your money." -- Author Unknown

I posted this somewhere else, but I think it goes better herre. I take whatever change that is in the bottom of my purse or diaper bag, and apply it towards my grocery bill. --pennies, nickels, whatever..., the cashier sometimes looks at me like i am a litttle crazy when i apply 59 cents towards 44 dollars, but oh well. it adds up, --- after that i just use my debit card. otherwise, the change would just collect and get lost in my purse, so it is much better used towards the groceries, ....the way i look at it is it is almost like a coupon.

sounds a little crazy, i am probably the only one that does that and thinks that way, but it seems to work for me.

My net worth isn't tied to my self worth.

This is also mine

My grandma used to say she'd rather have 100 friends than 100 dollars. Then, if she needed it, she could ask each of them for a dollar.

Don't spend what you don't have

If you want it bad enough, you'll earn it (my parents told me that TIME and again when I was a teen)

One dollar for me, one dollar for school (my parents would tell me that at the end of the summer when I worked as a teen)

It's just STUFF. Invest!

A few of my favorite quotes:

"The safest way to double your money is to fold it over and put it in your pocket."~ Kin Hubbard

And the best:

"I have enough money to last me the rest of my life, unless I buy something."~ Jackie Mason
