[Quote No.26543] Need Area: Money > General
"Do you now what will happen to 100 individuals who start even at the age of 25, and who believe they will be [financially] successful?...By the time they're 65, only one will be rich, four will be financially independent, five will still be working, and 54 will be broke — depending on others [and social security] for life's necessities. [The biggest difference between them will be their ability to set goals and then persist through the difficulties to the success they desire. Most will simply give up. But the choice is theirs just as it is yours, also!]" - Earl Nightingale

[Quote No.26561] Need Area: Money > General
"[Financial equality:]...I contend that if all the money and property in the world were divided up equally...within a year or two at the most, the distribution of wealth would conform to patterns almost identical with those that had previously prevailed.

[Quote No.26562] Need Area: Money > General
"In order for it to have substantive meaning, wealth must be regarded as a means; the true measure of any wealthy person is shown by the broader ends towards he directs the means...[or in] my father’s words, ‘It’s not how much money a man has, it’s what he does with it that counts’." - J.

[Quote No.26582] Need Area: Money > General
"[A wealthy man or woman for that matter]...can’t win. If he spends freely, he’s accused of being a wastrel and of trying to make an impression by splashing money around. If he lives quietly and without flashy ostentation, he’s castigated for being penurious – a ‘tightwad’." - J. Paul Getty

"[The importance of money to people should never be underestimated, especially in today's consumer based society.

[Quote No.28459] Need Area: Money > General
"To paraphrase Richard Bach in 'The Bridge Across Forever', when you suddenly come into a lot of money, it's like being handed a glass sword, blade first. You had better handle it very carefully while you take the time to figure out what in the heck you're supposed to do with it.
Bach should know. He went from journeyman writer to author of 'Jonathan Livingston Seagull' (which was then the biggest-selling non-fiction book of all time) to bankruptcy! In other words, he's been there. He took the bait and grabbed the glass sword by the blade.
If you are fortunate enough to one day find yourself the recipient of great wealth, heed Bach's warning about money. Handle it carefully. And before doing anything foolish, ponder long and hard what it's for." - Robert Ringer

[Quote No.28460] Need Area: Money > General
"The story '20/20' did on Jack Whittaker, winner of $315 million in the Powerball multi-state lottery in 2002, was heavy, to say the least. (Since he opted to take a one-time payout, Whittaker actually received 'only' a little over $113 million after taxes.) His is yet another in a long line of tales about people who suddenly find themselves immensely wealthy - and subsequently miserable.
The first reality of newfound wealth that Whittaker was confronted with was an endless parade of people with requests for money. Some folks didn't even bother to ask for a handout in person. They just sent letters - 50,000 of them! - telling him they needed some of his green stuff.
Whittaker forked over about $50 million before he came to his senses. But when he backed away from his role as year-round Santa Claus, the moochers became angry. A number of them even threatened him.
When their threats failed, many of the good folks in West Virginia started suing Deep Pockets Whittaker for a variety of alleged torts. (He's counted about 400 legal claims against him since he won the lottery.)
Confused and intensely unhappy, Whittaker began carousing, drinking, and propositioning young gals in strip clubs. His wife of 44 years threw him out, and, after giving away millions, he found himself with no friends.
But there was one glowing light in his life - his beloved granddaughter, 17-year-old Brandi. Whittaker gave her four new cars and an allowance of $2,000 a week. It was a real-life Beverly Hillbillies saga, only played out in West Virginia instead of California.
As one might have predicted, having that kind of cash in her pocket led Whittaker's granddaughter to drugs. Soon after that, in September 2003, her boyfriend, Jesse Tribble, died of a drug overdose in Whittaker's home. Then, a little over a year later, Brandi, too, was found dead of an overdose.
Stating the obvious in his tearful '20/20' interview, Jack Whittaker said, 'Money is not what makes people happy.' Of course, every half-sober, mature adult already knows that. But it's also important to understand that money doesn't automatically saddle a wealthy person with unhappiness.
Money, contrary to the popular aphorism, is not 'the root of all evil.' And, in fact, that's not what the source of those words - The New Testament (Timothy, 6:10) - actually says. Rather, it states, 'For the LOVE of money is the root of all evil.' (My emphasis.)
What makes money (and, I would suggest, fame) appear to be evil is the way some people react to it." - Robert Ringer

[Quote No.28567] Need Area: Money > General
"Financial Freedom: When it rolls off the tongue, you first think of the piles of cash you might have or the impressive stock portfolio you may have. But when you get there, you’ll realize it’s not about what you have. It’s about what you no longer have. Money worries and stress; money arguments and possibly a strain on your marriage; living paycheck to paycheck; and a lifestyle that revolves around a job. Make the necessary changes and you’ll have financial freedom." - John Cummuta
