7 Money Mistakes We Make Every Day

Reader Comments

Some wise-crack comment,"Money is not yours, until you spend it".

Yes after you spend it, it's gone forever. You have to look for "new money".

But you can't keep on looking for money for you will have to "retire" one day.

So while you can, you have to "keep some money to make money".

And may "this some money to make money will continue to make money even

after you "retire".

Actually, there is no such thing as "retire".

As long as you are alive you need to see " this some money will continue to make money"

And when your time has come, hopefully you have already passed 'this some money to make money" philosophy to your off-springs.

God said it and it is. Wisdom is the principal of things. and in all your getting get understanding. Study the word for in them you will find wisdom, understanding, life, peace, prosperity, love, and freedom from all debts. He also said that his people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, and he is not refering to the knowledge of this world, but to his holy scriptures. Get into bible study and be free from all the wisdom of this world that at the end of it is death, debts and sorrow. Be bless

If you can't pay cash in full, save and then pay cash, or finance for a short period of time and pay extra to pay it off quick,that probably is a very good indication that you can,t afford it, therefore you don,t need it!!!

I was never a person to give away money because i never had any. I decided to pay my house off early. I worked hard many hours and doubled my house notes and at the end of the year sometimes at the end of the year I paid more. I paid off a 30 year mortgage in about 15 years and that helped my way of life. I still did not become a big spender. I looked out for these times when I was working in my younger days. Now I am still saving and enjoying my life now but not as the big spenders. People wonder how I retired so early and I can buy what I want cash if I want, never bother anyone for anything. I learned that people will spend and talk about you not spending but they will come to you for what you have after they have spent theirs or they get in need. They will not pay you back and act as if tey did not borrow from you. I learned to say no because that is another way to get in the position that they are in, giving them what you have and worked for, then they act as if they don't know you or come back for more unless you just say not. If you don't have friends in all the years that you struggled for what you have then you don't need friends. It is your time, use if for yourself and spend your money on yourself before you leave this world. Love people but use your money on yourself since you sacrificed so much earlier in life to get what you have. Why let it sit and give it away to people that don't care about themselves enough to prepare for themselves and stop waiting on yours. I sad that to say this, if you make a nickle, save a penny. You won't regret it later.don't try to keep up with others.
