Have you ever looked into your wallet and surprisingly there was no money in it?

You might be wondering where it all went. Well the answer to your question is really simple indeed. Your spending way above your limits! Having no money in your wallet could affect you in many ways you could never imagine.

Real Life Situation

So your coming from the gym with some friends. One of your friend spotted a pizza store and you guys decided to stop to grab a bite and relax a bit. All of your friends made their order and it was your turn to do so. You asked for a slice of pizza with a sprite soda which cost $3.50 altogether. After making your order, you looked into your wallet and saw that it was empty.

You then recalled on how you wasted your money, spending it on useless things for example, “lottery tickets, playing cards, smoking and drinking.”
