Insure a Future Income – You won’t be young & working forever. Arkad recommends planning your retirement in advance. You should be contributing to a retirement fund in place.
Increase The Ability to Learn – The more skills & wisdom you have, the more you can learn. Simple. So make sure you constantly develop your skills to make more money.
