5 Financial bad habits to defeat this Dussehra

Whoa it was Dussehra yesterday, the festival that celebrates the victory of good over evil. As kids we used to make Ravana and then kill it just to relive the memories of the day and to remind ourselves that no matter what happens good things always win over bad

Needs v/s Wants

The festive mood is on with Diwali round the corner. I remember, as a kid I used to wait for Diwali like anything.
