脫貧要靠自己 理財須具智慧 曹仁超:馬年十大忠告 一、抑制無謂消費,努力增加收入。 二、千萬不可有時間工作、沒時間理財。 三、買樓、買金、買股票都不是理財。深入了解,細心分析,然後作決定,才是真正理財。 四、太早結婚、太早生孩子都對理財不利。 五、別指望買保險能夠賺大錢。 六、投資自己懂的項目,不要盲目跟風。 七、守住賺回來的錢,千萬不可「水過鴨背」(錢來得快,去得快)。 八、買什麼及何時買賣,兩者都重要。 九、不要感情用事。割掉虧損,讓利潤往前跑。 十、人生的悲哀不是死得太早,而是老來沒錢花(人又老,錢又冇)。如果你手上資金不夠活到100歲,請不要太早退休。45歲退休、55歲花光退休金,65歲攞綜援者大不乏人…… (節錄) (信報圖片)

Diversity is beautiful!

Parties up! May the horse be with you!

"Happy Lunar New Year everyone! According to the Chinese zodiac, it is the Year of the Horse – which is my year. And according to the general zodiac feels on the internet this year, people born in the year of the horse are going to have a bumpy ride, so they should lay low, don’t do anything too significant, but go to lots of parties. " - K.C.
