Take free money. No matter how in debt you are, if your employer offers a matching contribution on a 401(k) or other retirement vehicle, you must sign up and contribute enough to get the maximum company match each year. Think of it as a bonus.
From Suze Orman
Find $50 a month for savings. No excuses!
Rather than saying, 'My checking account is a wreck,' change it to 'I will learn how to track my spending and balance my checkbook.'
Every time you overhear something hurtful, I want you to do something kind for someone else.
Don't let what others think or say get in your way; their actions reflect on them, not you.
The foundation of a financial fresh start actually has nothing to do with money or specific financial dos and don'ts.
It's impossible to map out a route to your destination if you don't know where you're starting from.
Make this the year you tackle that credit card debt once and for all.
The advantage of online banking is that you can pay bills superfast, and your account is automatically credited or debited for each deposit and payment, making it easier to stay on track.
I get so frustrated when people tell me it's unrealistic to create an eight-month emergency savings fund, or have money saved for a home down payment, or pay off their $5,000 credit card balance.
