Family Finance

I took this class because I thought I could use some pointers in the money department.

And I didn't really think it would be too hard.

Oh I was wrong. It actually counts as a math credit.

Which I don't need, and was going to try to avoid through my career.

Oh well. Life will go on.

I learned some practical lessons in this class. Like if you save 10% now, you'll be very glad later.

Or it's important to have a diversified portfolio. And having a monthly budget is crucial.

The budget must be followed or all is chaos. Ha. Okay not really on the last one.

But a cool thing that I feel like is the overall lesson from the class is that money is not that important to life.

There are much more important things in this life. But if we manage the money we do have, 

however much that happens to be, life will be much more enjoyable.

Every class began with a spiritual thought from Dr. Israelson. He is a very smart man.

And the last class was dedicated to telling us how money can be a big burden and to focus on the important things that we need money for. Like feeding our families so they can live. Not having the newest toys so they can have fun. It was a pretty cool class. And I learned a lot more than this, but I don't want to write it all...

So.

Goodbye Finance. You have been informative. 

But I don't think I will miss you.
