I am not a fan of non fiction. To be honest, most non fiction is guaranteed to put me to sleep.

“Read something “financial“” – they said.

Ugh. How can I possibly read a book about money when books about things I actually ENJOY learning about put me to sleep nowadays!? – My Thought Process….

Good Financial Planning Involves Educating Yourself

However, did you know that our education doesn’t end when we throw that cap in the air and walk off that graduation stage? I know, it was shocking to me too.

Education is ongoing, but once we’re out of school, life just kind of gets in the way. Sure we learn when our jobs make us or when life throws us a curveball and we need to figure stuff out on the fly. Purposeful education in a non school setting is also important though.

Trust me, I’d rather read a nice beachy novel over a financial text ANYDAY. (my guilty pleasure series…)

However, money and the economy are not stagnant, evergreen topics.

Things are always changing and what you learned in school about money management and the economy might not hold true today. In fact, what holds true today, might not hold true tomorrow!

It’s important to keep yourself up to date and educated on what’s going on in today’s economy. Keeping up with financial current events could be as simple as spending 10 minutes every morning perusing your favorite financial website.
