Word of the Day: Negotiation.

 

This is one of Kwame’s passions and he describes it as any conversation where a person in the conversation wants something. When it comes to your finances it’s important that you remember to negotiate. You can negotiate to increase your salary or to decrease your monthly expenses. Remember, it never hurts to ask.
