A part of what you earn is yours to keep

One may not condemn a person for having knowledge (of how to make money)

7 cures:

  • Save more
  • Control your expenses
  • Invest in places where your principal is safe and recoverable
  • Own your own home
  • Provide for your retirement in advance
  • Pay yourself first
  • Learn more, become wiser , you will end up earning more
  • Make payment immediately if your bargain makes sense
  • People of action are favored by good luck
  • If wealth comes quickly to someone, it also vanishes quickly
  • Investing in businesses you’re unfamiliar with is foolhardy. You should also listen to the advice of the wise and experienced in their field that you can trust.
