Who taught you how to manage your money? Is it your parents, teachers or friends and peers? I’m sure it must have been one or a combination of all of these. And I’m tempted to ask you again, where did they learn theirs from? I am also certain it must have been from the above-mentioned sources, plus their own personal and bitter life experiences, most times in the most haphazard manner.
Almost everyone handles money on a day-to-day basis. Even at the macro level, money is the oil that greases the engine of all economies the world over.
But it is quite perplexing that this all-important subject, MONEY has been neglected by developers of academic curricula in most countries of the world.
Consequently, most academic institutions churn out hundreds of thousands of students regularly who come out in ‘flying colours’ but who are morons when it comes to money and money management. These academic gurus but FINANCIAL ILLITERATES keep groping in financial darkness for the greater part of their loives. Some even make money and waste it away in split seconds. After all, Robert Kiyosaki correctly asserts that “money without financial intelligence is money soon gone”
This book has been specifically written to bridge this knowledge gap by shedding some lights on the subject of money, the way that our formal schools do not. it is drawn from the author’s over eleven years work personal experience in the Business Development and Retail & Personal Baning Units of commercial banks – five years of which was in a managerial position – as well as his over five years experience coaching fresh graduates and out-of-school children.
In a very engaging and conversational style, this book will teach you:
* The basics of money that are not taught in the conventional schools.
* All the myths surrounding money.
*How to prepare your own personal financial statement.
*How to take control of your personal spending – and your future
*And many other money-related lessons they did not teach you in the formal schools.
I wish you a happy and interesting reading.
