“My Favourite Weekly Reads” are articles I have read throughout the week because they were of interest to me … for good, or for bad reasons. 🙂 Sharing them does not mean that I endorse them, unless I explicitly state that. If concepts contained in the financial articles I share are of interest to you please remember that is always a good idea to ask your financial adviser’s advice when considering making changes to your financial portfolio or changing your spending habits.
