Quotes to ponder:

"Americans have lost our ability to 'feel' money. Society has made it far too easy for us to spend money on autopilot."

"When we can physically see the money being taken away from us, we’re more mindful about the purchases we make."

"If you can’t control your money, the lack of it will forever control you."
