Have a personal quote?

What is the best advice you've ever received?
A fool and his money are easily separated. Don’t be a fool.

What is your best money saving secret/technique? (c'mon, everyone has at least one)
Do not pay full price for anything. Ever. Ask for a lesser price, use a coupon, wait for a sale, never pay full price. My biggest secret is simply asking for a price reduction. You will be surpised how much a smile, a little human descency, and simply asking will get you.

What is your biggest pet peeve?
These questionnaires.

I used to get called Felecity when that show was aired.

You're stuck on a deserted island. What is one possession you couldn't live without?
Candy, I am addicted to sugar!

Estee Lauder Go Bronze, I try to get everyone I know to try it.

What is your favorite sport and favorite team?
Baseball, Atlanta Braves

What is your favorite movie ever and why?
Forrest Gump. Forrest is a great character. Very well developed. The story line is humorous as well.

What is your best investment to date? (doesn't have to be finance-related)
My first home. I made money in the last real estate slump while others lost money.
