How do we steal from ourselves?
There are several ways in which we rob ourselves. These include: -
- Living life without a budget
- Spending without documentation or records
- Spending without restraint on luxury and consumption items
- Having no savings culture
- Indiscriminate giving to anyone that asks
- Investments in businesses one has no knowledge of
- Investments in money doubling and tripling schemes or no investments at all
