4. Beginning with incorrect premises.
Today I wanted to talk about the last one on this list – beginning with incorrect premises.
So, what do I mean by an incorrect premise? An incorrect premise is a belief you hold, something that you honestly believe to be Read More...
In a cultural full of consumption and instant gratification, the financial responsible and discipline to save for a purchase can be challenging…but, we all know it is the smart thing to do.
Regardless of your level of income, saving for a dream you have – such as a flat screen, a trip around the world or new BMW – can be easy if you get creative, even in these down economic times.
For instance, you could have your bank automatically take 5% of your paycheck and deposit it into a savings account for your dreams.
