Karen Finerman Quotes

I have this amazing life.

I want to live a full life - period.

The whole purpose of life is to make yourself happy.

The only thing that's important is that every day I'm waking and doing something that I really love to do.

Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn't dependent on anyone else.
