Northern Expressions: Woody Allen

woody allen

Today’s Northern Expression comes from the witty Woody Allen. I like it because it’s pithy but rings with truth. Congrats! You made it through the week and Memorial Day weekend is ahead of you (for you U.S.-based readers). Happy weekend, dear friends.

Love, Maggie

Northern Expressions: Have A Plan

Have a plan so amazing, so glowing

“Have a plan so amazing, so glowing, that you’re willing to walk blurry-eyed to work every day to make the money necessary to achieve it.”

I love today’s inspiration! This quote is from J.D. Roth in his awesome (and free!) The Money Boss Manual. It’s a fabulous way of saying what I’m always saying: Your future self will still be you! Get a better dream, make it awesome, and then work toward that. Spend this weekend dreaming big so you’re ready to walk blurry-eyed back to work on Monday. Happy Friday, friends.

Love, Maggie

Northern Expressions: Savings Muscles

Savings habit is like a muscle

“The savings habit is like a muscle. The more you use it, the stronger it will be. No one expects you to start with a fifty-pound weight when you first go to the gym. That’s why the one-pound weight exists.”

Today’s Northern Expression comes from The Index Card by Helaine Olen and Harold Pollack. I really enjoyed this book and think it is a perfect book to recommend to financial newbies. It introduces all of the important things in simple, actionable sections. I hope you’re inspired to start small and grow big savings muscles! Happy Friday, friends!

Northern Expressions: Stuff vs. Time

Buying stuff and buying time are in direct competition for you hard-earned money

“Buying stuff and buying time are in direct competition for you hard-earned money, and the choices you make in this regard have a direct bearing on your future.”

-Robert & Robin Charlton in How to Retire Early

Enjoy some Friday inspiration from a seriously awesome book that uses real numbers to show how they actually earned early retirement! Happy weekend, friends.

Love, Maggie
