Make a plan - a track to follow

Chapter 9 discusses "good luck or good management" thoughts. When I repeat this phrase over in my head a lot of things, stuff, reasons, ideas, people, flash into my mind, all of which have a different "take", on living,,as well as how to plan, and what road map to follow through life.  When all is said and done acquiring things is about "return on equity" when it comes to accruing savings. For example, not every hard working person earning a living would give much thought about how to turn $1,000 into $2,000 and so on.  In fact I more often hear pleasant remarks how the spare cash was spent on a nice car, nice jewellery, beautiful lounge and a week at the coast.  All of which has its place at the appropriate time.

It took me a few years to realise a balance could be had by "spend a bit, save a bit".  Am I hitting a familiar cord?

All of these ideas came to me after a few years of working at things constantly and at the same time really getting nowhere.  Mind you, in the days when interest rates were higher, say 17% at Custom Credit, it may have made it easier where to lock a few hundred dollars away for a couple of years, so the capital would grow..

Simply explained it was about building equity through owning things that appreciate in value.
