It also teaches how you need to be a few steps ahead and be prepared for the unexpected.

While some of these games as you see don’t directly deal with money they are based on strategy.

One of the biggest factors about money is not how much money you have, but the strategy you have with the amount you do have. This holiday season make one of the best investments you could possibly make…
