Finance Basics - Lesson 5.3 - Spending Habits

It's interesting, how many books there are about habits.  The reason?  Habits are one of the key reasons people are either poor or wealthy.  If someone has a habit of spending more than they make, in order to live a "celebrity" lifestyle, expect to remain poor.  The wealthy have a different mind set.  No one is immune from this, hence the reason why so many children of wealthy ancestry tend to spend themselves into the poorhouse.

Book 3:  The Richest Man In Babylon by George Samuel Clason





Book 4:  The Total Money Makeover by Dave Ramsey

The next lesson, make sure you try to balance work with the rest of your life.
