“When you borrow money two things usually happen. First, you’re taking capital that others saved in the past, and are probably using for consumption, not to create more wealth. And second, you’re mortgaging your future, which makes you a serf when you have to pay it back.” -Doug Casey
“Money saved generates future income. Income is what sets you free. And freedom is what truly makes us happy.” –David Eifrig
“Regret of the past or anxiety of the future are the thieves of the present. Just do the next thing. That’s all you have to do.” -James Altucher
“Do not the idler and the spendthrift know, even in the midst of their glorious fling, that they are heading for a future of debt and poverty.” -Henry Hazlitt
“Wealth is a store of something valuable, something you can use or enjoy later. Financial wealth, therefore, is the money you have put aside for spending in the future. I call this your ‘net investable wealth’.” -Mark Ford
“The one thing I wish I had known in my 20’s…. EVERYTHING you think is important and meaningful has absolutely no bearing on your future life…. So the only thing I can with full integrity say I wish I had known is: nothing at all matters…. The main skill I got between my 20’s and now is that I bounce back from bad things faster…. Now I bounce back from bad things faster. It’s freeing. I go all out every day. I throw myself into everything. I cut what doesn’t work and I ignore the rules that keep me from doing what I know is possible. And when I do everything works better for me.” -James Altucher
“But we live in a time, in a culture, in the West, now, which is very future oriented and really believe in progress. And we believe somehow that progress means that what we add to knowledge means that we actually supersede previous knowledge…. So, I would say there is something humbling about confronting the past on its own terms.” -Abby Smith Rumsey
