If you long to improve your financial prospects, do some research. Read books on investment and savings strategies. There isn't one set way to increase your fortune. Everything depends on your individual situation. Your personality has a lot to do with how you should allocate your funds. A risk taker like you probably prefers speculative ventures, but you should balance your portfolio with a few conservative ventures.

Joining a powerful organisation will allow you to launch some daring projects you wouldn't usually consider.

Once you pass a test or get a certificate, you can demand twice the money you are currently earning. You will also meet some attractive potential new friends.

With a little diligence, you can locate a new home within your price range. Yes, you'll have to do some repairs yourself, but that will be part of the fun. Customising the place to suit your needs will prove rewarding. Putting away money for a holiday or special family event is also a good idea.

Keep your spending in check until you're feeling flush again.

You're not the type who enjoys large crowds you prefer to maintain a small circle of friends. This selectivity works in your favour when a loved one recommends you for an important job. Contrary to what you might think, your friend isn't promoting you out of loyalty. He really feels like you're the perfect candidate for this position. Move forward with confidence and take your rightful place in the Sun. When you get the job, take your benefactor out for a celebratory dinner.

The secret to your success is simple. You have a knack for pairing the right jobs with the right people. You're the last person who would ever give a plum position to a friend who couldn't handle it. In fact, this tendency has landed you in trouble in your personal life. Despite the moans and groans from your social circle, you're still determined to reward people on the basis of merit, not how you feel about them.

Sticking to your beliefs has hampered you in the past, but not today. A charitable organisation admires the way you opt for principles over profit. Don't be surprised if you're asked to take a high profile job with this organisation. This is a wonderful opportunity for you to make money while helping others. Don't be afraid to ask for a bigger salary than you are initially offered. The fact is that this position requires a great deal of hard work.

A close relationship gives you the confidence to move forward with a daring plan. For the past few weeks, you've grown weary of being at everyone's beck and call. Sneaking off to some private hideaway will your beloved will prove healing. Let them shower you with tender loving care. Being waited on will give you a chance to recuperate from all of the work you've been doing and you deserve a treat.

An accomplished person could catch your fancy. You've always been drawn to people who are able to realise their dreams. Sometimes, though, these would be wooers can undermine your own confidence. There's no reason you can't meet your own goals. It's just a matter of taking a disciplined approach to your work. Abandoning ship at the first sign of conflict has been an alarming trend. Resist the temptation.
