Words of wisdom from Warren Buffet

Some of you might have heard Warren Buffet’s ‘words of wisdom’ before, I had, but I re-read them again recently and really enjoyed the reminder.

Learn from one of the world’s greats

These are Warren Buffet’s words of wisdom: 

  1. On earning. Never depend solely on a single income. Invest to create a second source.
  2. On spending. If you buy things you do not need, soon you’ll be selling things you do need.
  3. On saving. Do not save what is left after spending. Spend what is left after saving and investing.
  4. On taking risks. Never test the depth of the river with both feet.
  5. On investments. Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.
  6. On expectations. Honesty is a very expensive gift; don’t expect it from cheap people.
