I have since decided to take my personal finances seriously. Unfortunately I do not have anything to my name. Nonetheless I am convinced that at least a million ZAR has passed through my hands from the time is was born.
On a more serious note, am not too sure how much money has accumulatively has been spent under my own discretion. This speculation has inspired my future managerial tendencies with my own purse. It is a precursor and wonderful insight into the possibilities that my future holds, financially.
In the wise words of TechLead, yes; I understand he might be a questionable source of financial education. Regardless of his reputation. He still is a millionaire, so he says. His wise words are worth a ponder.

I quote this as if it is the first time I have heard this. Am sure am not the only one who has already grown accustomed to the idea of attraction of what already is. As we often hear,

However, its good timing in relation to when I am writing this post and when it was refreshed in my memory got itself here. This just goes to show how I do not need to read anymore of the same books. Actions are well overdue.
Its time to make, save and invest. In those categories, I plan to continually post and build a financial infrastructure for the next 6 months.

Using financial principles that have stood the test of time such as those told in The Richest Man In Babylon, as we know not laws of money changing to be the problem. It has always been about the discipline in execution that has always stood in the way of financial vitality.
