When I begin to look at the way people around me handle their financial lives, I came to the conclusion that they will all end up in same position, which is very possible.
It's possible in the sense that, the people around me tend to handle their financial lives same way our elders have been handling theirs, which took them nowhere.
There are thousand ways to do things. I personally don't believe there is only one way of handling a particular situation, except other ways haven't been discovered yet.
For this reason, I tend not to collect advice from anyone of them. Even when advice are given to me, I try to compare and contrast to see if it's truly making sense. If not, I throw it in the trash can.
