How To Keep A Journal and How It Can Help You Grow, Heal And Flourish
Reading Time: 4 minutes Like meditation, there is no right or wrong way to journal.

Warren Buffett One of the main objections from people who I speak to about beginning their saving and investing journey is the lack of disposable income they have available. Most people live hand to mouth, pay cheque to pay cheque and when something like job loss occurs in their life their whole world comes crashing down, they scramble to find the next available job, not even considering if this is the right job for them.
