Dave Ramsey
“The quickest right way to become a millionaire is to consistently invest over a long period of time. Don’t get distracted by market swings, trendy stocks or get-rich-quick schemes.”
Rachel Cruze
“Get this, two out of three impulse buys happen in bed on a phone! Ditch the urge to ‘add to cart’ and throw all that extra money toward debt or savings depending on your situation.”
Mark Cuban
“Learn as much as you can but be patient. There are no shortcuts.”
Tori Dunlap
“Start paying off debt now. Start budgeting now. And start investing as soon as you can –– even if it’s just $100 in an IRA or taking your company match each month.”
