Why Didn’t They Teach Me This In School Financial Book Application

Personal Relevations

It’s the stereotypical get rich slow book hated by the millionaire fastlane
- It has it’s own purpose; not everyone is into risky entrepreneurship shenanigans, and some of the advice in this book would still be relevant forsuch a demographic
I skimmed through the book and noted down some of the things that were relative to my situation, but things like the credit card section and mortgage section I didn’t bother copying
I used to think renting was a rip-off, but the book has helped open a new perspective as to why people may do it

It’s pretty clear the author wanted to provide a handy guide book to fill the lack of financial knowledge taught in high school
- It was a nice refresher, and the principles are definitely relevant to his targetted demographic (overspending, lack of direction)

Maybe include some of the things in my financial laws section, and try to adopt a frugal mindset
- Some of the specifics are decent guidelines
- I can continue to be bold in my future aspirations, but with a financially stable foundation

Frugal saving, prioritziation and organization of purchases, and other basic ideas like planning, reviewing, etc
Frugal saturday sounds like fun :o
An hour a week on personal finance doesn’t sound bad
- Might spend that time mostly doing stocks though
