The Dream Of Having One's Dream Job

Just Because You Can Afford It Doesn't Mean You Should Buy It.

I Get So Frustrated When People Tell Me It's Unrealistic To Create An Eight-month Emergency Savings Fund, Or Have Money Saved For A Home Down Payment, Or Pay Off Their $5,000 Credit Card Balance.

Whenever You're Confronted With A Tough Work Situation, Stop For A Second And Try To Honestly Answer This Question: Am I Approaching This Emotionally Or Am I Approaching This Professionally?

Never Invest Emergency Savings In The Stock Market.

Cash - In Savings Accounts, Short-term Cds Or Money Market Deposits - Is Great For An Emergency Fund. But To Fulfill A Long-term Investment Goal Like Funding Your Retirement, Consider Buying Stocks. The More Distant Your Financial Target, The Longer Inflation Will Gnaw At The Purchasing Power Of Your Money.
