You also need to save for your future: that means retirement. Jean Chatzky

Other, Save, Fewer

Feet, Next, Big

My Life, Career, Taking Time

After college, I was burdened with student loans to repay, no financial cushion, so I wasn't in a position to bet everything on a creative-writing career - neither the writing-workshop academia life nor the freelance-writer version, trying to scrape by on short stories and house-painting gigs. Chris Pavone

College, Career, Student

The metaphor I've used is... somebody's going to push my family off a cliff pretty soon, and I won't be there to catch them. And that breaks my heart. But I have some time to sew some nets to cushion the fall. So, I can curl up in a ball and cry, or I can get to work on the nets. Randy Pausch

Cliff, Some, Curl

When I was 21 years old, I had a job playing Santa Claus in a shopping centre in Sacramento. I was rail thin, so it's not like I was a traditional Santa Claus even then. I had a square stomach; that was the shape of the sofa cushion that I had stuffed into my pants. Tom Hanks

Stomach, Pants, Had

Feel, Aesthetic, Mixing

Hands, Sometimes, Feels

I never have more than one bag at a time. I think one is already quite enough. Also, I hate changing bags, so I never have the thing of having ten bags.

Bag, I Think, Bags
