Billy GrahamContemplation of life after retirement and life after death can help you deal with contemporary challenges.

Robert KiyosakiWatch your finances like a hawk.
H. Jackson Brown, Jr.Time is money.
Benjamin FranklinDemographics show that we are entering a battle between young and old. I call it the ‚Age War.‘ The young want to hang onto their money to grow their families, businesses, and wealth. The old want the tax and investment dollars of the young to sustain their old age.
Robert KiyosakiMoney without brains is always dangerous.

Noam ChomskyThe way to become rich is to put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.
Andrew CarnegieSocial Security is based on a principle. It’s based on the principle that you care about other people. You care whether the widow across town, a disabled widow, is going to be able to have food to eat.
Noam ChomskyWhen I was young, many people worked for a company with a pension plan that covered them for as long as they lived. If they didn’t have a pension plan, they could count on Social Security and Medicare.

Barack ObamaBeware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
Benjamin FranklinThe day I think I’m not enjoying the game and contributing the way I would like to, I’ll hang up my boots.
Sunil ChhetriI will never turn Medicare into a voucher. No American should ever have to spend their golden years at the mercy of insurance companies. They should retire with the care and dignity they have earned.
Barack ObamaI knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.
Bob UeckerBlack Americans, no more than white Americans, they do not want more government programs which perpetuate dependency. They don’t want to be a colony in a nation.

Richard BransonIf you want to be a Millionaire, start with a billion dollars and launch a new airline.
Richard BransonToday people who hold cash equivalents feel comfortable. They shouldn’t. They have opted for a terrible long-term asset, one that pays virtually nothing and is certain to depreciate in value.
Warren BuffettBring your desires down to your present means. Increase them only when your increased means permit.
AristotleWhen I was a kid, there were no credit cards. Instead, retailers offered layaway plans.

That meant she put a little money down to hold the sofa, and every payday she’d pay a little toward the purchase.
Robert KiyosakiYou can retire from a job, but don’t ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
Stephen CoveyIf I was a billionaire, I’d be smart with my money.

Barack ObamaSome people spend their lives building ultimate dream homes so they can enjoy their twilight years… Others spend their last days in nursing homes.
Billy GrahamWe can’t get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can’t just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
Barack ObamaI remember thinking quite logically that I didn’t want to spoil my children with wealth and so that I would create a foundation, but not knowing exactly what it would focus on.
Bill GatesWhen a man fell into his anecdotage it was a sign for him to retire from the world.
Benjamin DisraeliNo matter how you cut it, this real debate on personal accounts is about the legitimacy of Social Security; it’s not about the solvency of Social Security.
