Knowing Where It’s Going
I was just like most people who finally had money. Rather than act responsibly with my newfound cash flow, I felt I was entitled to make up for lost time by eating out every night, hitting the clubs, taking nice vacations, and filling my life with whatever gadgets I wanted. I thought picking up the tab was a great way to impress people; so what that I couldn’t really afford to do it? In the end, I had to learn the hard way that success is not solely about making more money. It is about knowing where the money you make is going.
