5 Financial Fallacies We Follow - Article in CWB magazine - by yours truly..

Complete Well Being is the world's leading magazine on living with awareness. You can visit them here. They published this article on most common financial fallacies in their most recent July 2014 edition, and it did attract some rave reviews.

And one of the first reviews for the article is as below:

'Financial Fallacies We Follow' by Mr Manoj Arora was an eye-opener. His quote by Albert Einstein that compounding is the eighth wonder of the world, is thought-provoking. Likewise, his advice to track the monthly expenses is invaluable and easy to follow. Though I had left this habit, Mr Arora motivates me to start again and cultivate financial discipline. 

I was pleasantly surprised to learn that '20 percent of money saved is equivalent to 100 percent of more money earned'.
