Tuning up your personal economic engine

Saras, just wait until you are the only family member working and the rest of your family spend money at a great rate. Add to that, retirement age is fast approaching and you work in an industry where grey hair means no job opportunities.

Maybe then, you'll wish that you saved a little more while you were financing interests in:
- Wines that cost 4 times as much just because the label is considered trendy this month.
- New cars that charge a premium for their ability to impress women that understand nothing better than the premium that you just paid and what that implies about your current expenditure.
- Clothes with labels that make you look prosperous and that you wear 3 times then lose in the back of the cupboard.
- Unnecessary toys and appliances that you can spend the rest of your life maintaining and replacing.

The answer is to have your own biz

And wines in Lithuania cost 4 times as much as in France without the trendy labels

And I meant these remarks as a joke. Not apparent enough, I guess.
