To me the professional headshot earned it's place at number one on your list with good reason. I don't know how many linked in profile's I've viewed without a decent photo or even worse, no photo at all. Nothing shows I'm only half hearted in networking or job searching like doing a half hearted job on your profile!
My mom taught me by example to always show kindness to others. No matter how much we had, she was always concerned about other people, too. In her thoughts and actions, she showed that you never have too little to share.
To stretch every dollar -- hard -- even when times are good. Not only does this keep your frugality in top form, it allows you to use more of your income for future goals.
Yes to number 4! I've been a professional actor for six years. Even working the biggest venues in NYC in my dream job, I was making $524/week. Passion doesn't pay :(
Well put. Mindless spending on stuff and services "just because" is a huge drag on available funds and an individual is not likely to derive lasting value from it. By becoming far more mindful of our spending we now:
1. spend far less than we earn
2. are happier in general with what we do spend on
3. experience far less financial stress or worry
Phoenix might be safe from natural calamities like earthquakes, etc... but what they don't mention is the presence of the deadliest FUNGI known to man... the Coccidiodes Immitis and Coccidiodes Psadasii.
They live in the soils of Arizona, and once they are blown with the wind and inhaled even once, it causes Coccidiodomycosis, A.K.A. VALLEY FEVER.
This disease in untreatable, though it may become dormant, the fungi still lives in your lungs - the first point of entry to your body. It could always relapse at any time. The deadliest form of Valley Fever is when it spreads to all parts of your body, which is called Disseminated form of VF.
The most affected people are the Filipinos (number one, worst affected), followed by Blacks, then American Natives, and other Asian races. The Whites/Caucasians are less affected but can also be infected with this disease.
Is this the reason why the government has considered this as a Biological weapon a few years back?
Is this the reason why there is no support from the Governement with it's research for cure?
When I was young, Mom worked 6 1/2 days a week, kept her house clean, kept her 3 children clean, and cooked a new meal every night because our dad didn't like left-overs. When I grew up, I also became a working mom, but I was totally overwhelmed with 3 children, a house I couldn't keep clean, and I even had a husband who not only shared chores but also liked left-overs. In exasperation I asked my Mom how she had done all that she had done when we were young and she simply said, "Because no one told me I couldn't." I actually believe if someone had told her she "couldn't do it all," she wouldn't have heard them because she would have been too busy "getting it all done." At 74 years of age, she still doesn't listen to the naysayers. I love that about you, Mom.
Asking for money back from a friend/relative is really hard. Your advice #5 Accept Payments in Installments had worked for me. I got my money back from a friend by asking her to transfer $100 back to me each month. It took her 3 years to pay me back, but I didn't lose a friend nor my money.
Start saving for retirement early on. I remember hearing this from my mom for the first time when I was about 10 years old, and when I finally got my first full-time job at 23, I was finally in a position where I could start putting a little money away into a retirement account each month. I'm excited to see compound interest work its magic!
No, paying someone to mow my lawn doesn't free up my time to make more money. But it frees up my time to play with my family, attend weekend events, take my son fishing, etc. Sometimes we get so caught up in saving money we forget the things money can't buy.
#1 is a decision many regret... just as many regret not pursuing post secondary, many regret just "Doing whatever" without any sort of career outlook and they end up 24 working at walmart with more debt than they'll ever be able to pay taking orders from an 18 yearold.
Do what you wish but college isn't what it used to be, so dont cry to the government in a parking lot for month's because they can't get you a job where there is no demand...

You have to either give them your bank account information or pay $3.50 to have a check sent to your home.
I learned how to be independent and take care of myself, not relying on others for financial well-being.

Fixed it! =)
I learned from my Mom to save for a rainy day
Friendships are worth the investment.
The best lesson I learned from my mom is to never let anyone else take away your hopes and dreams. Always follow your heart.
I never learned any lessons from my mom. I've learned more from strangers on the street.
My mom taught me to slow down and enjoy life. It's taken me many years to appreciate this!

Edmunds.com is by far my favorite site for researching a new car. It's also great for finding what your current car is worth.

One of my mother's favorite sayings was "Waste not, want not." I didn't understand it at the time, but now it's words I live by.

She taught me that "fit" is more beautiful than "skinny". That being said, I'm skinny... but working to become fit.
I learned to never get into credit card debt! I have stuck to that rule, luckily.
I cook my mom a nice dinner on mother's day.
