"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 think in the Indian culture, money is something everyone talks about. So when people get together, it's like, “How much did you pay for that? How much does this cost?” So I think money was more of an open conversation within our community."
"A lot of people can feel hopeless. They’ve made some financial mistakes in the past, but one of the things we want people to understand is that you don’t have to be the result of your past. You have an opportunity to design your future."
“If I'm using the credit card at my local store to get the points, then I'm charging my neighbor a higher price for their groceries (and I'm supposed to love my neighbor as myself). And I can't do that.”
“I look at money as kind of a magnifying glass. It makes you more of what you already are.”
