Financial Literacy (pt.1)

   
    In this series about Financial Literacy, I want to share with you some of my takeaways after each lesson on the MOOC course on Khan Academy: Financial Literacy. 
   You can enroll in the course right here: https://www.khanacademy.org/college-careers-more/financial-literacy

Why do we have to learn Financial Literacy?

    We can survive without money, of course. BUT, wait wait wait, nearly almost almost almost all of us can't just live without money. Just like the Internet, we have to learn Information Technology in school, during in-service courses or in some way or another. Similarly, we have to be the controller of our money, of what we earn, we spend and we save. 

→ After this course/reading this series, you will gain: 1.An overall confidence about your money - it will no longer be a mystery and make you wonder why some people are crazy rich but some are not; 2.An inspiration to embark on a journey of Personal Finance of your own to save and obtain whatever you like, from the latest phone to a worldwide tour and still living without being known as a miser. 

    Each post in this series will be like a bite-sized note so that you can just read in about 5-6 minutes to make extremely boring Finance a bit less indigestible.

SO LET'S DIVE RIGHT IN NOW!!!
