To start my personal finance series I thought I would start with the following foundations on personal finance. I will follow up with a post on each of these individual topics:
#2 Create and stick to a budget
#4 Accumulate assets that appreciate in value
#5 Avoid assets that depreciate in value
#6 Invest your savings early and often
#8 80% of personal finance is behavior 20% is knowledge and the numbers
#9 Your retirement is YOUR responsibility
#10 To be successful you and your partner must agree on these principles
Most personal finance topics can be attributed back to one of these principles. Did I miss any?
