The most important thing for a young man is to establish a credit... a reputation, character.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Without any formal personal finance education or trustworthy resources to tell them otherwise, the majority of people in the 18-to-24-year-old age bracket do not know how to use credit effectively, tackle debt or make wise decisions when it comes to spending.
To many a man, and sometimes to a youth, there comes the opportunity to choose between honorable competence and tainted wealth. The young man who starts out to be poor and honorable, holds in his hand one of the strongest elements of success.
Men are often capable of greater things than they perform - They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent.
It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.
I think it's important to be with a guy who has a strong sense of integrity. That's how I was raised, and that's something I look for.
Every youth owes it to himself and to the world to make the most possible out of the stuff that is in him.
A good reputation is more valuable than money.
The important things are children, honesty, integrity and faith.
No man's credit is as good as his money.
The best rules to form a young man, are, to talk little, to hear much, to reflect alone upon what has passed in company, to distrust one's own opinions, and value others that deserve it.
