I'm doing my work in an environment that's ultimately about dollars and cents.

As our products have improved, and you add value at the high end, customers move to the high end.

I like vintage shopping, but I also like to mix in high-end.

I like to play around with mixing high-end with more affordable pieces.

For my scale, how I grew up and live my life, I'm making plenty of money.

Actually, in my advanced, high-falutin' frontier economics, I often work with what I define as 'money metric utility,' and I ask people, 'Do you really want that? What are you willing to pay for that?'

I try to keep the more uninteresting stuff to a minimum, unless I'm really broke.

I am a local economic revitalization strategist. But I am also a TV/radio host, and a small business owner. I find ways to use money more efficiently to realize positive goals for everyone.

It's all very well to have principles, but when it comes to money you have to be flexible.

I started LearnVest with a tiny savings account where I paid designers, technologists, and even bartered... Because I started with paying for things myself with my own savings, it sharpened my focus of how to spend money.
