Quotes to ponder:

"You have to decide that you are ready to start saving or to start paying off your debt and you also have to decide that regardless of what is going on, or what people are telling you, you can do it."

"Once you start to shift your circle of influence and surround yourself with the right influences that align with your money goals you'll find that you are more focused on achieving those goals."
