Part V: Financial Education

"Develop a passion for learning. If you do, you will never cease to grow."
Anthony J. D'Angelo


Education is power. Becoming educated about credit cards, budgeting and basic finance is so important. The more knowledgeable your are about finances and what is occurring in the financial world around you, the more empowered you are to make sound financial decisions. Become educated about everything you do...from going to the grocery store to buying a house...spend wisely. If nothing else, use what you are currently going through as a learning experience and use it to make better decisions in the future. If you are parent, start NOW with your children. It's never too early or too late!
