Building wealth is not overly complicated, but will take time. Hopefully, you can use these personal finance quotes to motivate you on your path to financial success.
Personally, my favorite is:
Christmas is the season when you buy this year’s gifts with next year’s money.
That’s bad, but it’s a little bit sad because it’s true. People seem to go into credit card debt because they don’t have the cash to buy gifts… hopefully this isn’t you!
I also really liked the quote,
All days are not the same. Save for a rainy day. When you don’t work, savings will work for you.
This quote is about the concept of passive income – if you and I can build up passive income streams, then we won’t have to work for our money.
