The Complexity of Personal Finance

Personal finance and investing can often feel overwhelming due to their complexity and the emotional weight they carry. Individual experiences with money vary greatly based on upbringing, educational background, and the role models one had. Schools typically do not teach these essential financial skills, leaving many to learn from their parents or outside resources. This creates a landscape filled with differing opinions and practices, making it crucial to sift through the noise and develop foundational rules of thumb that can simplify money management.
