Personal Finance Broken Down and in Your Pocket
Well I’m in the office today and like most Saturdays, after about 3 to 4 hours I begin spacing out and surfing the Internet and I ran across a great site that I have frequented before. It is so to the point and simple I thought I would share it with all of our readers. Trent at thesimpledollar.com begins his story:
A few days ago, I had lunch with an individual who is considering hiring me to give a multi-hour seminar to a business convention on personal finance. This person knows me from the local community and is a reader of The Simple Dollar and he felt that I might be the right person to give such a presentation.
During the lunch, out of the blue, he asked me to give a five minute nutshell version of what I would present to the group. I thought for a minute, pulled a pen out of my pocket, and asked him for five business cards. In those next five minutes, I summarized everything I know about personal finance in a pocket-friendly presentation.
What followed was 5 business cards laying out everything people should know by heart about finance! Here are the first two Business Cards.
CARD 1
CARD 2
Go visit this site and read the other 3 cards, Trent does a great job of breaking money down to its simplest relationships and provides pointers to help you through the fog! Happy weekend!
