How are my finances? This is a question that I was afraid of answering for a long, long time, convinced that I am not doing enough.
But denial and procrastination won’t get me anywhere, so I decided to just bite the bullet and get a financial planner to analyse my finances and tell me what i need to do.

Excerpt:
