Savings Account Diet

Financial Freedom

I would have to say that my worst money mistake was keeping my savings account on a diet during the years when it would have made the most difference to my future (compound interest is amazing).

Had I invested just $50 a week from the time I started working, I could be laying on a beach right now, breathing in the fresh air, embracing the serenity, taking on the odd job here and there for the sheer pleasure of it.

I love work, but the freedom of not having to follow the strict time schedule that goes along with a full-time job would be an incredible feeling I'm sure.
