Jonathan Swift: 17-18th century: Irish essayist, novelist, and satirist

"A wise man should have money in his head, but not in his heart."

You could plan a world-class budget complete with spreadsheets, charts, and schedules that takes a month to complete. That’s still the easy part. The difficult part comes when you walk into a new-car showroom; or when you pass by a department store window displaying the perfect outfit; or when summer comes and you’re itching to go on a vacation. On paper, your money behaves. It’s resisting the temptations of life that challenges your commitment. Phil Tirone teaches you to separate your needs from your desires.
