“Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like.” — Will Rogers

In this video, Brittney Castro of financiallywisewomen.com reminds you that being financially wise and successful is so much more than just how much stuff you can buy in life. We live in a world where a lot of people think financial success means owning fancy cars and wearing the best designer clothes.

It’s so easy to spend money on things that may make us look like we’re financially well-off but the truth is, the most financially successful and fulfilled individuals are the type that don’t need to flaunt their wealth. They know that financial success is not indicated on how much you earn or spend on stuff every year but rather how much money you actually keep and grow every year.
