How I’m Getting Richer Every Day
I’m not hungry for money. Compared to several years ago, when I had less money, I still have the same life. It’s a rich life. I wake up, drink my freshly brewed green tea, read a good book, and then start working until about 3 or 4 in the afternoon. Then, I put on my […]
Spending TOO MUCH is one the most common money mistakes. I came across a study the other day that asked people where they burned most of their hard-earned money.
