I came across this great post today on MyCents.com.au, in it the author Mathew Green talks about the importance of learning about money. Here is what he has to say:
Steven Covey, author of ‘The Seven habits of Highly effective People’ suggests that in life we need to ‘begin with the end in mind.’ In other words we need to have goals or something to work towards. Unfortunately, the future has a habit of creeping up on us and coming sooner than we could have every imagined (sorry to sound old). Understanding how money works, how it can work for you and what you want to do with it is very important.
I agree than money is not the most important thing in the world, but I do believe that it can have a huge influence in our quality of life. We spend time (if your motivated) taking care of your body (through exercising), relaxing (to recharge ourselves) and socialising (hanging out with our friends) but what about investing (great word choice) into our financial literacy?
I couldn’t agree with Mathew more. The way our society is set-up, our life revolves around a series of transactions. We need money to eat, to be clothed and to have shelter, and most of the time, we need money to just have fun. So spending some time learning about money is well worth your investment.
