Quote

Absolutely pay off credit card debt. If you're not getting a match in your 401(k) and you've got credit card debt, you've got to get yourself out of credit card debt. When you get out of credit card debt, your credit score goes up and interest starts to go down.

Try handling problems in the office as dispassionately as you can and I guarantee you will have a better time of it not least because when you bring emotion into the conversation, you furnish your colleagues with an easy out for dismissing you.

What's keeping you from being rich? In most cases it's simply a lack of belief. In order to become rich, you must believe you can do it, and you must take the actions necessary to achieve your goal.
