<p>Last week I examined a piece written on Moolanomy about '12 investing mistakes' and all of the points mentioned here came up.</p>

Not because you have to start to make progress, but because when you start plays a huge role in how hard you have to work at saving and investing.</p>

It's easy to make excuses not to do it, but I find that if people just start trying to build wealth, they find it's not that hard and that they really enjoy it. </p>Edmund commented on 'Four Steps to Long-Term Financial Success'tag:typepad.com,2003:6a00d83451bcbd69e200e54fa5bce188332007-12-15T19:50:05Z2007-12-15T19:50:05ZEdmundhttp://www.othellogateway.com/blog/Doing the right thing in personal finance is not rocket science.
