Nice capsules. Thank you.
Topic for short video: “Why tracking investment is intelligent ( or liberating ) than tracking expense? ” . I still do track expense as it gives handle into where money is going. May be… I did not understand what were conveying in your blog post by same title. However I think video mode would help capturing this opinion of yours …which will be useful for others to adopt.
Will do thank you.
Very good videos of Basics, Professor.
thanks man.
