Financial Wisdom

Spending: If you buy things you don't need, you'll soon sell things you need.

Savings: Don't save what is left after spending; spend what is left after saving.

Hard work: All hard work brings profit; but mere talk leads only to poverty.

Laziness: A sleeping lobster is carried away by the water current.

Earnings: Never depend on a single source of income.

Borrowings: The borrower becomes the lender's slave.

Accounting: It's no use carrying an umbrella, if your shoes are leaking.

Auditing: Beware of little expenses; a small leak can sink a large ship.

Risk-taking: Never test the depth of the river with both feet.

Investment: Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

-Warren Buffet

Hi Lvynana, there's a saying, A single conversation with a wise man is better than ten years of study.

Nice blog you have.

And yes, the economy is not too good, but remember, newspapers sell when bad news. And sometimes we read and believe everything...

You keep well and have a pleasant weekend, best regards, Lee.
