Quotes to ponder:

"Saving usually means putting your money into a savings account in a bank for easy access."

"The stock market, on the other hand, while unpredictable in the short-term, generally does better than cash over long periods of time and generates greater returns on your money."

"Putting aside $25 a week in an IRA, assuming an average return on your investment dollars of 8 percent over 40 years, will result in investments worth about $350,000 when it’s time to retire."
