AfroEconomics #65 : Increase wealth yearly

by

Too often we think about about the appearance of wealth — fancy cars, big houses and red bottom shoes. What we don’t think about is how much debt a person may be carrying. It’s possible to have a Ferrari, a million-dollar mansion, and a negative net worth. I often put it this way: the less money you spend on material stuff for others to see, the more you can invest in assets. In AfroEconomics we never emphasize the names on our clothes – instead we focus on the names of assets in our portfolio. Let’s look at my 10 specific tips that will help increase your wealth every year, starting TODAY.

Retail therapy can cause you to gain credit card balance. These financial tips will help you shop with confidence.
