When we need suggestions or advice, we typically lean on those around us for tips.

They all talk as if they are personal finance experts, but they are not.

Many of them are surviving on credit and will never be rich.

Instead, open up a book written by Warren Buffett, Jim Rohn, or Dave Ramsey.

These individuals have amassed millions of dollars and have made many friends along the way.

Learn their life lessons and follow their success path.

Do NOT listen to your broke friends.

If you have a friend or family member that demonstrates good financial habits, then great!

But don’t go with their advice just because you’ve known them a long time.
