Advice for Students: "No one who has been successful has ever been lazy and not worked hard, unless he or she inherited money or property. The hard work we do now will 'pay' itself back in the end, but it requires determination, motivation, and self-discipline to continue to work hard and stay on track, no matter what field of study we are in. If we succeed, fifty years down the road our grandkids will come over and we can tell them the stories about how we sacrificed eating out several times a week, living on campus, buying a brand new car, partying instead of studying, etc to live in a nice home, raise a family, enjoy our jobs, and pay for our grandchildren's education. It doesn't matter what we do in life, but how we do it and how we handle each situation that comes our way."

Advice for Students: "Start an emergency fund now! It can be as easy as skipping a latte a day and putting that amount aside instead. Leave your stash of cash alone in an interest-bearing account and watch it grow! Unexpected expenses will be much less stressful when you are already financially prepared for them."
