Few quotes about spending and materialism

“Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like.”

Will Smith

“Advertising is the art of convincing people to spend money they don't have for something they don't need.”

Will Rogers

“It's not your salary that makes you rich, it's your spending habits.”

Charles A. Jaffe

“I'm not against people having new cars. I'm against them having you. We spend a tremendous amount impressing somebody at the stoplight who we'll never meet. It makes you broke and keeps you broke.”

Dave Ramsey

“In your efforts to cut costs and save money, avoid getting caught up in the "buy more, save more" marketing ploys, because when you're spending, you're not saving.”

Jacquie Ross

“Economy is a way of spending money without getting any pleasure out of it”

Armand Salacrou

“Maturity is: The ability to stick with a job until it's finished; The ability to do a job without being supervised; The ability to carry money without spending it; and The ability to bear an injustice without wanting to get even”

Abigail Van Buren

“Getting money is like digging with a needle, spending it is like water soaking into sand.”

Japanese Proverb

“For the love of money is a root of all evil: and some whose hearts were fixed on it have been turned away from the faith, and been wounded with unnumbered sorrows.”

Paul Saul, Bible, 1Ti 6:10

“ But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we came into the world with nothing, and we are not able to take anything out;  But if we have food and a roof over us, let that be enough. But those who have a desire for wealth are falling into danger, and are taken as in a net by a number of foolish and damaging desires, through which men are overtaken by death and destruction.”

Paul Saul,  Bible I Tim 6:6-9
