When I have money, I get rid of it quickly, lest it find a way into my heart.  ~John Wesley

I got a chuckle out of this quote.  But I also realized how true this is for many people.

As a financial planner, I see people at all levels of income and assets.  It always surprises me when the people who make the most money seem to have the least amount of assets.  Why is this?

Car sickness is the feeling you get when the monthly payment is due.  ~Author Unknown

I had to laugh when I read this quote.  I have suffered from car sickness my whole life, so I can relate. 

I paid off my car loan about a year ago, and this is the first time in my adult life that I have not had a car payment.  While I never suffered "car sickness" when I was making my car payments, the feeling of freedom that I have now that the loan is gone is incredible!

"You must become a financial success in your thinking long before you achieve it in your reality"  –Brian Tracey

I love quotes, poems and prayers.  I have decided to add any that catch my attention - and that relate to money or personal finance - as I see them.  I hope you enjoy them as much as I do!
