A wise woman activates the hunting nature inherent in a male folk by playing "hard," because if she allows him easy access his innate hunter instinct is benumbed and her value is debased and misused.The chase instigated by a woman teaches the man to value and handle her with respect. Likewise, money not earned usually lacks respect and most often is misused. You might think that making money is more difficult than managing money, but the most important factor in the relationship between you and your money is its management and growth, without which your money will leave you as most women would leave you if you are not able to manage and prosper their well-being. For instance, a person who suddenly experiences a windfall, such as a Lottery winner, most often squanders the money and walks with lack and limitation thereafter.On the other hand, hard-earned money is like a woman chased and won. This type of money encourages frugality, savings and investment for its growth. Money management is not exclusive to corporations and governments: adults (parents and guardians), teenagers and young adults need money management guidance to prepare them for the future when their money must be well managed to grow, keep them debt free and comfortable in retirement. A lot of people find it very difficult to handle their finances because although schools teach economics, they do not teach money or financial responsibility."Money IS Like a Wise Woman" is a personal finance guide written in simple conversational English to keep you abreast of money management commonsense. It's a clarion call to all to imbibe financial responsibility
