    Default Good Money Quote

    "Good money decisions typically hurt now, and feel good later. Bad money decisions typically feel good now, and hurt later."

    What do you think? True, or no?

    I think its absolutely, 100% spot on.
    If you could kick in the pants the person responsible for your problems, you wouldn't be able to sit for a month.

    Did you know that a 4 year student paying $20,000/year who finances their education graduates with over $103,000 in debt to start? But a student who works and pays cash and takes 6 years to graduate ends with $6,300 in their pocket! So much for "getting a head start by financing!"

    I completely agree, 110%. I find that the truth now more than ever. I guess it takes finally realizing how bad things used to be and how much better they are now in order to fully get that quote.

    It's a great quote...another way of expressing the "delayed gratification" concept, but in a way that would be easy for anyone to understand with using any scary words . Where'd you come across the quote?

    I'll give ya three guesses...

    Yep, I agree.
    It kinda goes along the lines of, anything worth having is worth fighting/working for.

    So, what are your feelings on this, Greebo?

    And as to where you got the quote? Ermm..............uhm...............oh I dunno, DR perhaps?
