Some Retirement Income Money Quotes

Let's spend all our money to buy cool stuff. Later we can sell it all on eBay to pay for our retirement.
- from Glasbergen cartoon

More money seldom solves someone's money problems. Intelligence solves problems."
- Robert Kiyosaki, writing in Rich Dad, Poor Dad.


Shun anthing - shares, property, or the latest hot trend - with recent sharp appreciation. Bubbles burst. Wait until prices fall and then stablize. Never buy in a market that is rising or falling fast. In the short term, stick to safe investments, even if you can only get 5 percent.
- Richard Koch, writing in Living the 80/20 Way.

When it comes to making more money, most people look at the world and see the same opportunities they’ve seen before: typically, a job. Because they don’t awaken their mind and expand their vision, they don’t see other opportunities. Yet opportunities do exist. So how do you change your thinking so you can see them? One way to jolt the brain out of its preconceived category thinking is to bombard it with new experiences.
- Joe Vitale
