Graduating from college is a big transition—it signifies the completion of years of education and the beginning of your career. While it is exciting to get your first job and start earning your own money, there are a lot of responsibilities and decisions that come with being on your own as well (even if you're trying to be a minimalist<\/a>). And, even though you might know how to create a marketing strategy, build a website, teach a 3rd-grade class, or take a pulse, you might not have a clue about how to manage your bills, coordinate a move to another city<\/a>, or deal with your student loans.<\/p>\n

Given how important financial management is for every American, you would think financial literacy would be given a more prominent place in our schools and universities. But alas, that is not the case. The good news is that even though you might not be taking classes anymore, you do not have to stop learning. Take a note from some of the world's greatest financial advisers (maybe for a unique, albeit unusual, date idea<\/a>). Their money quotes might be centuries-old, but their wisdom about managing money endures even today. <\/p>\n

Here are 10 money quotes every recent college graduate should read at least once:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \"An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.\" -Benjamin Franklin<\/li>\n
  2. \"A man in debt is so far a slave.\" -Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/li>\n
  3. \"A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.\" -W.C. Fields<\/li>\n
  4. \"Never spend your money before you have earned it.\" -Thomas Jefferson<\/li>\n
  5. \"Too many people spend money they earned to buy things they don't want to impress people that they don't like.\" -Will Rogers<\/li>\n
  6. \"If we command our wealth, we shall be rich and free. If our wealth commands us, we are poor indeed.\" -Edmund Burke<\/li>\n
  7. \"I will tell you the secret to getting rich on Wall Street. You try to be greedy when others are fearful. And you try to be fearful when others are greedy.\"-Warren Buffet<\/li>\n
  8. \"A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some.\"-Joe Moore<\/li>\n
  9. \"Financial peace isn't the acquisition of stuff. It's learning to live on less than you make, so you can give money back and have money to invest. You can't win until you do this.\" -Dave Ramsey<\/li>\n
  10. \"It is not the man who has too little, but the man who craves more, that is poor.\" -Seneca<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    · Who<\/strong>: Benjamin Franklin<\/p>\n

    · When<\/strong>: 18th Century<\/p>\n

    As a recent college graduate, one of the most important lessons you can learn is the value of ongoing education. Benjamin Franklin, one of the most prolific Americans of all time, understood this better than most. Even into his 70s, Franklin was always experimenting, trying new things, and keeping his famous zest for life by refusing to become set in his ways. Another famous Franklin quote (among many) is, \"Most people die at thirty. But they aren't buried for another forty or so years.\" What Franklin meant by this is that most people stop learning and stop growing at such a tragically young age. And, the moment you stop learning and stop growing is the moment you die. <\/p>\n

    If you are reading this article, you are already practicing Franklin's life lesson. Taking time out of your day to read these money quotes and learn a thing or two about managing your money can have huge benefits—in both the short term and the long term. <\/p>\n

    2. \"A man in debt is so far a slave.\"<\/span><\/h2>\n

    · Who<\/strong>: Ralph Waldo Emerson<\/p>\n

    · When<\/strong>: 19th Century<\/p>\n

    Ralph Waldo Emerson had a timely message about the nature of debt way back in the 1800s. Whether it is student loan debt, credit card debt, rent, or a mortgage you cannot afford, owing more than you have is not a good practice. Burdening yourself with debt, especially at a young age, is a bad idea. It limits your opportunities and \"enslaves\" you to making money that you simply need to continue paying your bills.<\/p>\n

    If you are debt-free or have only a small \"seed,\" suddenly the world opens up to you. Moving to another city becomes a possibility, as well as many other financial moves. Living beyond your means is a mistake, one that you will pay for—sooner or later.<\/p>\n
