According to Steven Hoffmann Newt , It is very common to find people who are always “broke”! They are not necessarily in debt, but they are always complaining that the “money is short” and that “there is nothing left at the end of the month”. Well, if you take a closer look at these people, you'll see that they have some characteristics in common. We will describe 3 habits of this type of person. These are Steven Hoffmann general behaviors and are not necessarily linked only to monetary matters, but they deeply affect our financial life. 1) Search for Immediate Satisfaction Some people have a tendency to seek immediate satisfaction and are unable to 'postpone' this need. They end up prioritizing the present over the future.
