Oooh, this was a good one. Okay, here are my thoughts …
1) Establish the priorities for your life, for your money will follow the desires of your heart.
2) Develop a realistic budget that is firm enough to keep you accountable and flexible enough to adapt to life. If you don’t control your money, it will control you.
3) Keep perspective, money is only a tool by which we participate in life. Wealth has a much higher value when measured in the love of family and friends.

[...] talks about the 3 rules of personal finance. I know what my three would be, spend less than you earn, save now, live now. Probably not what [...]

As in control as one can be in anything I guess. Outside of video games there are very few places we can talk about control without exception .

Ha, I know you’re not laughing *at* me but *with* me! Actually I’m quite taken with it. Maybe it should be the new Monevator strapline.

Hmm — how about three rules as a poem?

Earn more
Spend less
Invest the rest

I really like “Every dollar I lay down is a vote of support” and wish more people thought that way…

We seem to believe we are helpless to change the way big corporations operate, from our retail stores to restaurants, to any other establishment we might go to and dislike.

But I think if this recession has proved anything, it’s that the “bad apples” will be weeded out, eventually.

Ohhh, this is a good one! I love the answers so far. Mine–

1. Every dollar I lay down is a vote of support. (Forces me to ask–What am I supporting? Child labor? Fair wages? Local farmers? Factory farming? 20 years of debt repayment?)

2. Money is a tool with which to build. (Am I building debt? Savings? Dreams or nightmares?!)

3. I define my wants and needs. (No financial expert, home & garden TV show or fleeting trend is going to define how I choose to spend and save. My life. My money. My decisions.)

“Have a plan for today, tomorrow and the years to come.” Yup…definitely! (Even if it changes every other month, it’s important to get something down on paper!)

“Money is only one part of your life. (Balance!)” Really like the way that’s phrased. Word choice makes all the difference!
