For one of
my school projects I decided to write about finances and I had to
choose my own topics to research and write about. One of them includes
financial institutions. I have to learn about bank fees charged by commercial banks and the types of accounts available to their customers. I am mostly
focusing on individual steps to financial freedom therefore, I have’t touched
on retail banks or corporate banking.
I have
realized that information is widely available for us out there but we
don’t have the knowledge because we don’t search for information. Before I
started writing about finances and financial literacy, I had this period where I did a mini research
about credit cards (including talking to someone at my bank) and I gained a
vast amount of knowledge. But I also realized that the reason we sometimes
don’t learn about things is because the lingo may not be in our favor.
Finance language is one of them. It requires having a dictionary handy to learn
some of the terminologies so that you can move forward to the next piece of
information (or have someone explain things to you in a layman’s
language).
I hope I
won’t stop learning about finances once I am done with my school project. And
as for you my readers, you can learn anything you want to. So, I urge you to
make use of all the information out there - a lot is available online - educate
yourself especially about things that affect your life one way or the other, be
it health, finance, career, relationships, and so forth. It’s never too late to
start.
Love,
