Above Quotes
Lending practices have become so aggressive that many people are qualifying for mortgages above and beyond the old guidelines. I think the total house expense shouldn't exceed 28% of net income, and the mortgage plus other debt such as a student and car loan shouldn't be more than 36% of gross income.

Amount Quotes
For most of us, it took years to develop bad financial habits, and it will take at least the same amount of time to create the good habits we want. People spend more time planning their annual vacation than discussing their personal finances. That's not healthy, especially for newlyweds.

Agree Quotes
Give your student the opportunity to earn money while under your roof. Agree on a reasonable split of your child's earnings--save most for school, but don't forget some fun. Allow your child to make decisions on how to spend some of the money on a car or a trip to Europe. You want to start early so you can guide your children and have some influence over their decisions.

Bank Quotes
I think people are reluctant to talk about money because there's always a scorecard--a bank statement, a credit report, a pay stub--and if you screw up, it's right there. But with sex, it's easy to be Don Juan or Donna Juanita. I think the record of past transgressions in black and white is why money is our last taboo.

Account Quotes
Don't fall for the pitch '15 months is as good as cash'?even if you have lawn furniture in your living room. Retailers know that most customers won't pay in full within 15 months, and they'll be charged interest from day one. So, if you sign up for such a plan, be sure to put one-fifteenth of the full payment in a special account each month and pay in full at the end of the interest-free term.
