"Quicken Inc. is So Money® because our mission is to help people lead healthy financial lives. And that’s also what I try to do as an individual. That’s what we try to do as a company, and I think that’s what we’ll continue trying to do as we rejuvenate this great business."
"I'm a recent college grad with a full time job. A handful of my friends either never got full time jobs and are traveling the world or are planning on quitting their jobs to travel. How do I know that working hard and saving now will pay off down the road?"
"Sometimes when we have a purpose and we follow our path, we are tested and we are challenged. I think all those challenges, at least for me, were like the soul’s gymnasium. That really helped to sculpt my own character and inner integrity and fortitude."
"When you're born in a country like Pakistan if you’re not a pretty little boy, life is not that pleasant. So, I had to find a way to get a "yes." I was into persuasion and negotiation from a very early age because I was trying to compensate for not being a boy."
"I'm a recent college graduate and I really want to learn more about how I can best invest some money and how much I should start out investing? Do you have any recommendations for this millennial starting out?"
"Out of discontentment comes people spending money that they may or may not have, to keep up a lifestyle that they think everyone else is living but they're missing out on. Every post on social media is everyone's best foot forward. It's like a highlight reel."
"I thought we would work exclusively with authors who are self-publishing to give them the same experience that traditional authors have in-house. But the reality is that most of our authors actually intend to publish traditionally."
"A few of the So Money® guests lately have suggested this idea of opening several savings accounts for different needs like travel, health, tuition, etc. Is this really practical for budgeting? I like the idea of allotting money into different buckets but wonder if it's more trouble than it's worth?"
"I learned from my mom, you need to say “yes” to things, you just believe in, even if you’re not ready. But then you have to actually do the hard work so things don’t fall apart after you’ve said “yes."
