Speaking on ‘financial intelligence’, guest speaker at the occasion pastor Longji Danbok said most youths are poor not because they have never seen money, but because they lack saving and investment culture.
Danbok who said money is not main to spent but to invest, lamented that most parents are contributing to the poor saving and investment culture of their children at their tender age.
The guest speaker, who is an author of seven books explained that, the secret of wealth lies in the ability and thinking faculty of an individual to multiplying money at any given opportunity.
“You see, the greatest mistake most peoples made always is that, they are waiting until they get big money before the think of investment. But the fact is that, if you cannot invest the little you have, then don’t try it on big amount because you will definitely going yo crash”. He explained
