Money. Finance. When have you started thinking seriously about it? What do you know about it before thinking about it seriously? What made you consider that it is important?
We have different answers for those questions – answers that are dependent on our experience. My answers? I started thinking about it seriously when I realized that I made a bad financial decision. Before it happened, I never thought that it is that important – especially when I compare it to real happiness. I considered it as important because I experienced to be broke – and I am still in this situation. In my opinion, there is only one way to get up and avoid the circumstances I have gone through – circumstances that even those people who are close doesn’t even know. There is also a large contribution of some Facebook community I joined afterwards – and some people who give encouragements – to make me think positively despite the negative experiences I had gone through.
I will be relating that bad experience on the first part of this series – after this foreword. You may skip that, but that part will give you the idea why I am starting to take responsibility of my own finances. Next to that, on this series, I will be writing about: increasing funds, managing debts, savings and investments, and protection. The discussion will start with the concepts and information I gathered from my inspiration (proper credit will be given), how I implemented it to my own, and what are my resolves in the future.
Through this series, I am hoping that experts will help me along the way and that some people who also experience the same will draw inspiration from it.
