Let's have a thread of great financial quotes. Here is one that I just thought of when writing about interest in another thread:

"Interest never sleeps nor sickens nor dies; it never goes to the hospital; it works on Sundays and holidays; it never takes a vacation; it never visits nor travels; it takes no pleasure; it is never laid off work nor discharged from employment; it never works on reduced hours. ... Once in debt, interest is your companion every minute of the day and night; you cannot shun it or slip away from it; you cannot dismiss it; it yields neither to entreaties, demands, or orders; and whenever you get in its way or cross its course or fail to meet its demands, it crushes you."

J. Reuben Clark, Jr

Interest can be your worst enemy or best friend depending on your relationship with it.

Don't tell me where your priorities are. Show me where you spend your money and I'll tell you what they are. -- James W. Frick.


I must confess; lately, most of my money has been spent on getting set up for raising chickens. I am hoping that will stabilize soon. Perhaps once I hold that first egg in my hand, it will all seem worth it. :D
