I’m decluttering on this beautiful fall
day and getting ready for the shred truck to come by my house next week. But I
had to stop and write this in the moment.
Revealing yet another dumb decision from
my financial train wreck past, I found paperwork this morning from a retirement
account I cashed out over 12 years ago. What a shock, I completely forgot
about that! There was a decent amount in it, too, considering I only worked
there for 3 years (one of the many pivots in my adolescent-20s). Right now I
feel like somebody punched me in the stomach.
I’d like to get into financial education,
first by educating myself and then by helping others to avoid mistakes like
mine. In a hands-on way, not just in a share-my-journey kind of way. Is there a
fast track to do this?
Reality check, I’m taking an Intro to UX
Design course and absolutely love it, and don’t have the bandwidth for a FinLit
credential right now. Also looking at this blog, I’m more interested in money psychology than in the nuts-and-bolts of numbers and
budgeting.
