"If you’re not staying on top of your money, you are putting your financial well-being at risk." ― Suze Orman Topic(s): Money More From Suze Orman "Take free money. No matter how in debt you are, if your employer offers a matching contribution on a 401(k) or other retirement vehicle, you must sign up and contribute enough to get the maximum company match each year. Think of it as a bonus." "The chances of a bank going out of business are extremely slim, but it’s always a good idea to spread around major sums so every penny is backed by insurance." "If you wait until your children are high school seniors to spring it on them that there’s not a whole lot of money for school, they won’t have too many options."
