Anyone Quotes
When I first began visiting West Germany in the early 1980s, I was startled by the contrast between Birmingham, where I went to school, and affluent Cologne. My host family, the lovely Schumachers, always had an opulent array of grapes on the table; they were better dressed than anyone I knew in Britain.

Certainly Quotes
If we want to talk about Gross Natural Product, we have to talk about the King of Bhutan's index of Gross National Happiness, too. Certainly I have found, as many travellers before me, that people in the poorest places are often the readiest to shower me, from an affluent country, with hospitality and kindness.

Absorb Quotes
We're beginning to appreciate that baby boomers aren't traditional retirees; they plan to be active, whether that means working, volunteering or continuing to run a business. On the other hand, affluent individuals may continue to work to absorb steep and ever-climbing healthcare costs when they retire.

Access Quotes
Motorola is set to exceed the program's target of 12 million phones, proving that there is a huge appetite for mobile communications beyond the affluent markets traditionally served by this industry. The widespread availability of ultra-low cost handsets is bringing major social and economic benefits to people who have never before had access to information and communication technologies.
-
Bankruptcy Quotes
Fourth quarter results from continuing operations met or exceeded our long-term targets for earnings, revenues and, on a pro forma basis, return on equity. Higher spending by affluent consumers, small businesses and corporate Card members more than offset the impact of an industry-wide spike in bankruptcy filings before new legislation went into effect last October.

Community Quotes
Some of our people have stepped forward and offered their second homes - cabins, cottages - in different parts of the state for families whose homes were destroyed, ... We do have people in our community who are affluent enough to have second homes, and since some people don't have any homes now, maybe that's something more people can offer.

Ability Quotes
Educate is at a place where it is feeling the pressure in its ability to attract customers. While it is tackling a lot of small issues, the elephant in the room is it has effectively saturated this market of affluent families that would pay for this service. So, Educate ceases to be a straightforward growth company and more of a consumer cyclical that will move with the cycles in the economy.

Attitudes Quotes
Affluent baby boomers have unique challenges when it comes to retirement planning and represent one of the largest opportunities for financial services firms. Mass marketing to this group of high net worth individuals simply doesn't work and requires a more thorough understanding of the affluent lifestyle, attitudes and behaviors. It's obvious from our research that there's lots of low hanging fruit yet to be picked.

Articles Quotes
Back in 1991, I suggested doing this because our school district is not affluent by any means. We had kids going to college and struggling and some of them were the first people in their family to do so. I had read some articles about foundations and knew that maybe we could do this.

Follow Quotes
It's such an obedient way to be for a woman, to try to keep yourself in top shape, to follow all the rules and hope that will get you a measure of stability or happiness. That's part of the affluent suburban dream: to do everything perfectly in a long-winded way, to try to fulfill all the requirements.

Areas Quotes
(In) the industrial cities of 100 years ago ... millions of urban dwellers ... were obliged to endure cramped and unsanitary tenements, traffic and pollution-choked streets and deadly factories. Today, by comparison, most residents of affluent metropolitan areas live in relatively low-density suburbs, areas that are much cleaner, greener and safer than the neighborhoods their great-grandparents inhabited.

Across Quotes
The full impact of any policy must take into consideration the potential freedom of consumers to change their beverage of choice from wine to beer or liquor, or to consume beverages that are cheaper. This is particularly important in western societies where affluent consumers have a lot of freedom to choose. Our results show that it would be much better to increase prices of low-level alcoholic beverages than to increase prices equally across all beverages.
