There are quite a few old proverbs and adages that we’ve all been saying and hearing

for
years (if not centuries). After a while we stop really hearing them, though, and start to take
their meaning for granted. But most wisdom is timeless – and smart money advice is worth
hearing in any century. So here are a few great financial proverbs that are just as true today as
when they were first uttered:

NEVER SPEND MONEY BEFORE

Spending is quick, alright. Thanks to modern technology, the “convenience” of buying has
never been greater – we can spend hundreds of dollars in the swipe of a card, the click of a
mouse and the tap of a smartphone.

Just remember, no matter how easy it is to spend your money, it’s not getting any easier to
make that money.

A FOOL AND HIS MONEY ARE

SOON PARTED.
– Dr. John Bridges

Don’t take this one the wrong way. Smart people and money are parted all the time, too. It just
means that all money decisions are important and you can’t take it for granted that your money
will always be there. The more you do to educate yourself about finances, the better equipped
you’ll be to make positive choices with your money.
