Saving
The old money management rules don’t work. Don’t save to finance an age-65 retirement. Save to enhance your enjoyment of life in all the years to come before you turn old and gray. Don’t create a personal budget that always tells you “no!” Create a turned-on budget that says “yes!” to your desire to achieve your most important life goals. Learn from the true experts on financial freedom, those who have been participating in The Financial Freedom Discussion-Board Community since 1999.
