Start studying money; get your hands on as many resources as you can

I think this one step changed my financial destiny forever.


I got my hands on some audio books on mp3. Dropped them on my phone and started listening to while I went on my lunch time walks; I had gained one hour of financial education each day. Then I got some CDs to listen to in the car, I had then gained another hour of financial education. I now have two hours of every day dedicated to learning more about my personal finance, and the best part is I simply added it to things I was already doing, so I didn’t lose any time.

I encourage you  to figure out what your down time is; be it in the car, on the train or at the gym. Get some of these audio books and start learning. Check out the resources tab for some suggestions on where to start. I found that once you get started the process of learning becomes habitual and almost subconscious.

The best part of this is that it will totally change the way you think about money. It’ll also help you set some goals too.
