Financial Futures

So lately I've been obsessed with trying to listen to financial gurus and reading different sources and listening to podcasts. It's like an overload of information. I wish I could absorb it like a sponge - or perhaps a shamwow? It's like I'm on the beach looking out across the ocean of knowledge, waiting to sail across the seas and explore the unknown. I want to learn more. Thankfully I have a father who has dived into the ocean, already discovered troves of golden treasures of knowledge. I still have much to learn, much to incorporate, but I think it's important to learn about these things.
I've wondered back when I was in/ just after high school why is it that school's don't teach what you really need to know in life? Life lessons, such as financial literacy/ management, time management, personal/ social management, etc. Most teachers tell you what is and that's that. If you don't get taught things like that at home, one might not be able to act on bettering oneself. My friends and I wondered about this once while reflecting on life.
I think because of my upbringing, I feel obsessed in learning how to become rich and wealthy. I've been listening to Dave Ramsey, Marty Nemko, rearing Rich Dad Poor Dad, too many sources to list.
I'm glad I've found these tools. I now know more why knowledge is power. I hope I can fill my head full of more and more ideas.
'Till next time!
Sincerely,

Bills Organization

Organizing Bills
Paying bills is one of those things that you get privilege to do as an adult.
Unfortunately, I don't think many parents teach the best way to do so. (Mine didn't anyway.)
Like most things, it's a learn-as-you-go sort of thing.

So I was on Pinterest a while back and I saw this post. (here)
Being that I haven't bought a printer for myself yet, after my last one broke down on me, I decided to try doing this on Microsoft OneNote. I think so far it is very successful!! Since most of my online bill paying is online/ electronic, I get my statements paperless.

I still have improvements to make, and more info to still import, but I must say I am pleased. :)

Still figuring out how to live life.

Love,
Lizy
