Save what you have to double what you make.
In the past, people didn’t have so much to choose from. Now, we want the blender with six functions that we don’t even use. We want the expensive clothes that we don’t even like, but they are “trendy” so we still buy them to impress others around us.
In the pursuit of getting all the things we want, but don’t need, we lose precious time, relationships, and ultimately ourselves. Of course, money is a means to an end. We need it for comfort, education, medical procedures and so on, but we should always remember that there’s so much to this life.
Here are 150 money quotes that will change your perspective on making money:
Money motivation quotes
As mentioned above, we need money -- maybe for some of the things we’ve never had, maybe for basic necessities. Whatever our goal may be, money will be part of our lives, like it or not. We should strive for a better today for ourselves and our families, just as long we don’t forget that we’re on this Earth to make each minute count, and money isn’t everything.

Saving money quotes
Saving money should not be an option, it should be a rule. Regardless of how big or small your income is, you should make an effort in putting al least 10% away into your savings account. The unpredictable is part of our lives and you can’t never know when or for what you’ll need a certain amount of money. It is always better to have some at hand rather than searching for people who would loan you the amount you need.
Save money for a brighter future, save for the sake of saving, or save for a beautiful holiday with your dear ones. Stop spending money on things you don’t really need, you’ll thank us later. Check out best saving money quotes.
