💵 Money Mantras
In last week’s newsletter, we relayed a fantastic Clark quote that could serve as his personal mantra: “When it comes to saving money, my time is worth nothing.”
That got us thinking. What financial mantra best describes you?
Here are some of the responses we received:
Terri in Arizona: "My dad always said, 'Nothing is a bargain if you don't need it.'"
Robb in Georgia: "Time is money! I could not disagree more with Clark's statement, 'My time is worth nothing!' Ridiculous. Time is our more precious and valuable commodity that can never be replaced."
Dudley in Massachusetts: "Squeeze the pennies and the dollars will take care of themselves." (Be careful with all purchases and you will save enough to buy what you want.)
Glen in Florida: "Pay yourself first."
Gloria in Georgia: "I'm not trying to keep up with the Joneses because they don't pay my bills."
