When we say we want to get on top of things, it means that we want to be in a position of control.
So, when I say I am on top of my finances, it means that I don't have a financial burden on my shoulders and I don't owe anyone any money. I am not chained down by anyone over finances.
So, I couldn't help but frown when I saw this:
What kind of brochure is this? See top left corner for a clue. |
15.44% for 12 months
13.44% for 24 months
16.11% for 36 months
How confident are we of getting a ROI higher than these interest rates?
Of course, if we are borrowing to fund consumption, heavens forbid!
If we need to borrow to fund our lifestyle, obviously, we cannot afford our lifestyle.
How to get on top of our finances? For a start, don't get into debt!
