Learning Money Management

Money ~ another daunting topic for me to choose!

My knowledge of money doesn’t exactly have me waxing poetic.

Money management is a part of my life that just is: concrete and unwavering (well, sometimes wavering quite a bit).

Maybe, money management is the grand learning curve we start off on when we get our first pennies (now nickels) from grandparents or aunts and uncles. (2023 - twoonies or loonies!)

The shiny new coins taped inside of a birthday card

sometimes came with the admonition to 

‘not spend it all in one place’ or 

 to ‘put it in your piggy bank'.

Early lessons in money management. 

Later and harder lessons about money management 

can often come from the school of hard knocks 

complete with financial 

blunders

windfalls and hopefully

a steady financial income.

Balance between these three can be 

just a bit lopsided from time to time

with some warning ~ or not.

Learning about debt, spending and saving

what my responsibility is in each

develops over a life time with 

experience

education

willingness.

“An investment in knowledge always pays the best interest.”
