this concept, let alone how to STOP it!!!Every dollar you spend, you never get back.
And you lose the dollar and WHAT the dollar could have earned IF you had it invested

How will you pay for College?
And
How will you manage the CashFlow?
Cash(flow) is King…In business, often CashFlow is more vital to
keeping things running than lump sums of money.

If you have strong CashFlow, you can survive just about ANYTHING!!!
