When I speak to other people about money, they immediately get nervous. They don’t like talking about it. So I asked one of them, ‘why?’
She said its intimidating, almost like there’s so much to know about it and she knows nothing.
That’s because whenever people talk about money, they use so much jargon that it confuses the bejesus out of people. It’s like trying to explain the simple calories in calories out by talking about the intricacies of the digestive system focusing on cellular metabolism.
No people. Let’s keep it simple. Calories in < Calories out. Thats all.
Same with money. Expense < Income. So yeah, there IS more to it. But thats all you need to know to get started. Get rid of all the other nonsense out there. Start here if you’re feeling overwhelmed. Trust me, everyone starts here. This is the bedrock of a healthy personal finance.
I advocate for healthy personal finance, I know that we can be incredibly resilient to the market. We have the ability to stick it out for the long term, weathering the risks and patiently waiting for the gold to strike. Compounding is actually our best friend. She may be daunting, but she’s simple, befriend her and you’ll be all right.
To everyone out there who think this is all too overwhelming- It’s not! Talk to more people about this or write to me! I’m always available (and extremely interested) to talk about this. Let’s empower ourselves!
