Unlock your financial potential with My Financial Education. When I was in the final year of my college, the students used to discuss with each other to decide their future plans. What I found very interesting in their discussions, was that their plans used to end up mostly about preparing for some government jobs.
I did not have any problem with that idea, but I used to think – why my young fellows were limiting their potential. Though I knew there was a financial challenge, they had the required potential and time to do something innovative.
The reason was that they had job insecurities. The mindset of the parents and society also impacted the way of their thought about their future careers. People in society used to appreciate someone with a government job title.
Empower Yourself with My Financial Education
So, in my opinion, job insecurities among students are one of the main reasons that stop them to do something innovative.
I also had such a kind of environment in my family and in society, so I knew it very well. But I was planning something different. I wanted to explore and understand my future career possibilities on my own terms.
I have seen that most people in society are not financially educated. When I say financially educated – it means understanding the nature of money, wealth, assets, liabilities, active income, passive income, business, investments, etc.
“Financial education is the key that unlocks a world of financial empowerment and opens doors to a brighter future”
In our academic education system, there is no such subject that helps us to understand the nature of money and how it should be treated in our life. People have no understanding of where to invest their money the right way.
So, I decided to explore things that were beyond the scope of our education. For this, I studied many books to get some clarity on financial education. Some of my favorite books are the following which provided me with life learnings that I was completely unaware of:
- Rich Dad Poor Dad
- How Rich People Think
- Born Rich
- Stay Hungry Stay Foolish
- The Rules of Life
- The 10X Rule
- The 80-20 Principle
- Think and Grow Rich
The learnings of these books are life-changing. I learned so many things from these books that impacted my life. But you know what – implementing these learnings in my life was a great challenge for me.
This was just a beginning of an adventurous journey where I did not know what the future outcome would be. 🙂
