Memorable Quotes

"Money represents freedom, and that's all it represents. The more money I have, the more freedom I have. It's that freedom of choice as well."

"Our self-worth is about who we are and what we bring to the table. If you know this, you can let things go a lot easier. Your financial success is built upon how good you feel about yourself."

"The faster way to pay off debts is applying two things: slowing it down and only applying as much as you need to per month, and doing an energetic clearing out by forgiving yourself for those debts and releasing feelings of shame and guilt."
