Anything worth a lot is worth waiting for. Take a look at this Eva Longoria-Tony Parker deal. They've been seeing each other for a couple of years, he pops the question ... they'll be riding off into the sunset soon. They took the time and got to know each other and, bada-bing bada-boom, happy ending. Let's just hope the union lasts longer than a 60-watt bulb, baby.

That doesn't mean that you stand around waiting for the fairy godmother to FedEx your dream to you in a box. It means working hard at whatever you do to get where you want. If it's about having extra cash, then it means to get on a plan to get out of debt. Stick with it, through thick and thin, until you get what you're after.

Money ain't as good as love, but financial peace is worth the wait. It takes dedication, hard work and sticking to your plan to save money, jack ... but once you get to the top of the hill and you've deep-sixed your debt, the ride down is as happy as a kid in a candy store. Just ask Dave Ramsey.
