Mission Statement
Astrape Finance aims to create a community of persons and businesses that understand the tenets of financial management and are able to execute clear and sound corporate and personal finance plans for growth.
The journey to financial soundness does not commence at the beginning of a year, it starts when you decide to take that path. The path to learning.
It’s not how much money you make, but how much money you keep, how hard it works for you, and how many generations you keep it for
It takes 31 days to develop a habit. It will take $1 a day to save $31
