Make this the year you tackle that credit card debt once and for all.

Sometimes poverty is the greatest gift you can ever be given. Sometimes loss is the key that leads you to gain.

Abundance is about being rich, with or without money.

If your company matches your 401(k) contribution, then no matter what, contribute to your 401(k) first. You put in a dollar, they put in 50 cents. It's an automatic 50 percent return on your money. You can't pass that up. I'd rather have the 50 percent than pay 32 percent interest on a credit card.

Messages about money are passed down from generation to generation, worn and chipped like the family dishes.

Choosing wealth as a goal requires facing everything about your money bravely, honestly, with courage -- which is a very, very hard thing for most of us to do.

Remember to remember your power -- everything you've learned with these steps to financial freedom -- and put it all into practice everyday, because in the grand scheme of life, you'll never really know how things are meant to turn out until they turn out.

I look around and there are needs that people have. Places have needs. These times have needs, and I have the education and the ability to communicate with it and help to solve those needs.

Success is not how many zeroes your bank account has. It's about making the most of the life you have.

Absolutely pay off credit card debt. If you're not getting a match in your 401(k) and you've got credit card debt, you've got to get yourself out of credit card debt. When you get out of credit card debt, your credit score goes up and interest starts to go down.

The dream of having one's dream job turned into Oh my God, I'll take any job. I've been out of work for two years now. I don't care what I do. I'll do anything because I don't have any money.

I wanted to give people the ability once again to realize that they can still dream, but it has to be a new American dream that's based in honesty, integrity, and security -- a dream that allows you to sleep at night, a dream that is attainable and allows you to stand in your truth.

I'm in a relationship with life. My life is just out there. I'm on the road every day. I love my life.

I have come to think that money is very much like a person, and it will respond when you treat it as you would a cherished friend -- never fearing it, pushing it away, pretending it doesn't exist, or turning away from its needs, never clutching it so hard that it hurts. ... if you tend it like the living entity it is, then it will flourish, grow, take care of you for as long as you need it.

What women need to understand is that you cannot save a child if you can't save yourself.

In order to live a rich life, everything about who you are must

be one, in alignment, and in pure harmony.

If you have credit card debt and credit card companies continue to close down the cards, what are you going to do? What are you going to do if they raise your interest rates to 32 percent? That's five times higher than what your kid is going to pay in interest on a student loan. Get rid of your credit card debt.

When you start really respecting yourself, those you love, and your money, the result is that you start having control over your money. What follows from that is control over your life.

One has to ask what is the goal of life? What is the goal of life? My interpretation of it for myself, a very wise teacher once taught me this, is to meet the needs of the people, places and the times around you and offering those services to God.

Money is a topic that touches all races, all religions, all sexes, all ages, all tax brackets. It's a universal language that truly has been held up to us in society as a thing that determines whether we are successful, worthy, whether we have contributed something to life or not.
