You’ve probably looked at the money before and wondered how some of these people got on there. You’re quite possibly aware of their roles in history, at least in the case of local money. Some of these people may actually have some pretty good anecdotes on managing money or making it grow.
In an age where financial advice comes from all sides online, you have to wonder whether or not you’re being given sound advice. Keep in mind that no two financial situations are the same and that people deal with money in different ways.
If you’re looking for a little inspiration though, here are a few financial quotes that you can apply to just about any situation.
