In today’s video we discuss the money myth, A penny saved is a penny earnt! What’s your thoughts? Any ideas?
The trouble with this statement is not that it’s not true, it’s the fact that people who cut their expenses more often than not, fail to put away the newly available money they now have, but instead use that new available money on another expense instead, which doesn’t lead to any positive benefits for the finances, after all!
So what do you reckon? Share your thoughts and ideas.
3. IS IT TRUE?
Yes, it's true.
For everytime you reduce your expenses
"saving a penny" then you are now better

elsewhere...
