Week 4: Financial education

Dear reader, One of the topics I will discus in my blog is finance. To get a good understanding of how finance and money works you need some form of financial education. Unfortunately financial education is not taught in our school system. So to gain financial education you need to learn it for yourself. My journey with financial education started about 2,5 years ago. I heard about the book Rich Dad, Poor Dad, by Robert Kiyosaki. He is a great investor in real estate and gold and silver. In his book he takes you a long his journey how he learned about money and became one of the worlds bestselling authors in personal finance. Why financial education?: Financial education is very important.

Week 3: Time is Money!

Dear reader, Time is everything. We all have 24 hours, 1440 minutes and 86.400 seconds in a day. The only difference is how we use our time effectively. Everyone has different types of jobs, schedules and routines. But how can you make sure you use the most out of each day? Today I am going to take you on my routine and my steps to make sure that I use the most out of my time, my day and my life. I will divide the day into three parts of 8 hours and I will show you how I can easily keep track of each part of my day. I DON'T HAVE ANY TIME!! This is bull sh*it. Everyone has time, the same equal amount. When someone says they don't have any time then they just can't manage their time. You will hear all the excuses, I have kids, I need to travel a lot, I work late hours, my wife/husband...., my cat/dog..., IT IS BULL SH*T. You never have time to read a book because you spend so much time on your phone looking at Instagram or Facebook. You don't have any time to ...

So don't worry if you don't get it right on the first day. Just don't give up. Follow your dreams and work on making the most out of each opportunity. Resolutions:   Allot of people make new years resolution. It is the time of your life you can start clean and follow your dream. Wether your resolution is in health, love or finance it takes more than just starting the 1e of January.  Your goal with the resolution is that you achieve something in the new year.
