“The modern banking system manufactures money out of nothing. The process is perhaps the most astounding piece of sleight-of-hand that was ever invented. Banking was conceived in inequity and born in sin... But if you want to continue to be slaves of the bankers and pay the cost of your own slavery, then let the bankers continue to create money and control credit .” ~ Josiah Charles Stamp (English Economist President of the Bank of England in the 1920's and the 2nd richest man in Great Britain, 1880-1941)
“Banking establishments are more dangerous than standing armies.” ~ Thomas Jefferson (American 3rd US President (1801-09). Author of the Declaration of Independence. 1762-1826)

“In central banking as in diplomacy, style, conservative tailoring, and an easy association with the affluent count greatly and results far much less” ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
“The trouble with being educated is that it takes a long time; it uses up the better part of your life and when you are finished what you know is that you would have benefited more by going into banking.” ~ Philip K. Dick (American Writer, 1928-1982)
“John D. Rockefeller wanted to dominate oil, but Microsoft wants it all, you name it: cable, media, banking, car dealerships.”
“It is not by augmenting the capital of the country, but by rendering a greater part of that capital active and productive than would otherwise be so, that the most judicious operations of banking can increase the industry of the country” ~ Adam Smith (Scottish philosopher and economist, 1723-1790)
“I am sure I will feel at home in the Bahamas. I've been involved in gambling in the Bahamas. I've been involved in gambling in Nevada and I've been involved in banking.” ~ Chic Hecht (American Ambassador (Bahamas), b.1928)

 You don't spend wildly, but you're not opposed to treating yourself on occasion. In general, you save some of what you earn. You know the importance of a nest egg. You aren't afraid of being financially literate - you embrace learning more about finances. From a retirement plan to having an emergency fund, you know what you need to have to be safe. |

 And when you do spend, you try to go for the cheapest option possible. You're not a penny pincher because you're poor. In fact, you may have the most cash of anyone you know. You're a true saver. You feel safest when you can watch your bank account grow. While more people should follow your lead, make sure you're not depriving yourself. Spend enough money to take care of yourself in the short term, so you'll be healthy and happy for the long term. |
Shouldn’t they all be holding a little white bunny?

Glad to see Obama’s home basketball team of Illinois was an early upset! Maybe a hopeful sign of times to come?
