Gratification

This class discussed the importance of Instant vs Delayed Gratification, Cheap vs Frugal, Wealth vs Income and Education vs Income.

I consider how you handle gratification as the most important concept to understand. To create wealth, you must practice delayed gratification  which includes getting highly educated and controlling your expenses by living below your take home pay.

You can never make enough money, if you do not control spending (expenses). And that includes your spouse. If you can not control your spending, then have a spouse who can our you will both be broke.

Education vs Income

Part of Instant vs Delayed Gratification

During the first class, I went over everything in the outline listed in the previous post.

The first web site discussed was deal news. This site summaries deals located both on-line and in brick and mortar stores. Download phone apps here.

I added a link to the blog's sidebar that allows students to check the list of registered students. This allows them to make sure they have registered and if not, please do so.
