How Real People Grow their Wealth (Series) - 2


Welcome to the continuation of our series. I will start right away.


Save 50% of every raise you get


That is true and a good way to grow your wealth gradually. If for instance you earn N70, 000;00 p/m and you save N30, 000:00 and spend the balance every month you would be accustomed to a lifestyle of N40, 000;00. your company then decides to give you a salary raise of N30, 000.


What do you do with the extra Cash?


You add a minimum of N15, 000;00 to your saving to raise it you N45, 000;00 and then add the balance to your spending money.


Remember you need a plan on how to invest whatever saving you are putting away.


Good luck.


Till next time
