I started LearnVest with a tiny savings account where I paid designers, technologists, and even bartered... Because I started with paying for things myself with my own savings, it sharpened my focus of how to spend money.

I always encourage people to pay themselves first, so I really advocate setting up direct deposit for your paycheck and establishing an automatic transfer so that part of each paycheck goes straight into your savings account.

I'm 36, but I still feel like a punk kid with $200 in my savings account.

Don't monitor your online savings account in real time.

Influence is like a savings account. The less you use it, the more you've got.

What do you think, that a dollar in a savings account is freedom? Maybe you have understood nothing I have said.
