Reputation:  (12) |  The best investment you can make "The best investment you can make is to save the money in the first place." - Author unknown. It makes sense of course but mostly we save what it left over. Automatic deduction and deposit to an investment or saving plan makes it happen.

Reputation: (10) | In a bear economy maybe, but if a bull market, you can "lose" money by not having money in the market.

Reputation: (31) | Such a great quote I agree whole heartedly with that statement. I also believe that you can "invest" by learning as much as you can about personal finance. Knowing different ways to save, make your money grow, reduce debt, and control spending are all great "investments" in ones future wealth. |
