Invest three percent of your income in yourself (self-development) in order to guarantee your future.

If newspapers were a baseball team they would be the Mets - without the hope for those folks at the very pinnacle of the financial food chain - who average nearly $24 million a year in income - 'next year.'

The confidence is really driven by the woman - whether she can have the confidence that there will be enough earning or income to finance all the domestic spending - but also by the middle-income class which for many Asian countries has become the growth power for the economy.

If US per capita income continues to grow at a rate of 1.5 percent a year the country will have plenty of money to finance comfortable retirements and high-quality healthcare for all citizens including those at the bottom of the wage ladder.

The rate of interest acts as a link between income-value and capital-value.

Our incomes are like our shoes if too small they gall and pinch us but if too large they cause us to stumble and to trip.

I think and I mean this sincerely I was raised humbly. We were a lower middle income family and a household that was scrimping by at times. We were watching the dollar stretching the dollar and coupons. It was all those things.

In the past 40 years the United States lost more than a million farmers and ranchers. Many of our farmers are aging. Today only nine percent of family farm income comes from farming and more and more of our farmers are looking elsewhere for their primary source of income.

The real solution is to improve the incomes of the poor and provide their children with decent education.

Giving women education work the ability to control their own income inherit and own property benefits the society. If a woman is empowered her children and her family will be better off. If families prosper the village prospers and eventually so does the whole country.

A mother's ability to provide for her children is not always tied to income but rather to education.

Economists report that a college education adds many thousands of dollars to a man's lifetime income - which he then spends sending his son to college.

Poverty is multidimensional. It extends beyond money incomes to education health care political participation and advancement of one's own culture and social organisation.

I started on an Apple II which I had bought at the very end of 1978 for half of my annual income. I made $4 500 a year and I spent half of it on the computer.
