The Downturn

I loved this article. Am I a total dork for loving all things financial? Last night I was musing about how I should go back to school to be a financial advisor (history degrees don't go very far) and the Rocket Scientist said why bother? I should just go to the Internet and learn everything I need to know. He's so cynical.

Thanks for sharing that article. It is great to find all sorts of financial advice out there on the internet and then have the luxury of throwing 90% of it out the window (since most of it stinks!). But here is a fella that seems to be pretty with it (http://www.iwillteachyoutoberich.com/). And I just have to say that all the "money" shows on cable (especially mad money...) drive me absolutely nuts. Also, shows like GMA and the Today show also drive me crazy, but that's for another rant. :)

And why not take some classes on finance? I am in a beginning one with BYU independent study and it seems to cover everything that everyone SHOULD know about (stocks, bonds, mortgages, budgeting, etc...). Good luck!!

I don't think you're a dork, I think you're amazing! Too bad we don't have a few more people like you helping to run our country. A little financial wisdom would go a long way in Washington DC.
You'll be a great blessing to your family as you manage to keep your financial "house" in order.
