How to Live a Fulfilled Life Financially

I recently read Your Money or Your Life, an insightful book about personal finance. I have read the book about a decade ago, but a decade is a long time so I decided to read it again to refresh my memory. There is a concept that is emphasized again and again in the book. That concept is frugality. The book says that frugality is the key to living a fulfilled life financially and I agree with it.

The Key to Mastering Your Situation

The Key to Mastering Your Situation

A while back, I read The Code Book by Simon Singh. It’s a good book about the history of codes and code breaking. Among others, the book covers the role of code breakers in wars. They play an essential role there. Why? Because if you break the enemy’s code, you can grasp the real situation of the battle. You can then make the right decisions.

I don’t have the space to explain the concepts in depth, but the book gets its point across well. Without further ado, here are seven key lessons on wealth creation:
