I have financial illiteracy
    #5357669 - 03/02/06 02:10 PM (17 years, 10 months ago)

i've got my mothers blood - lukewarm direction knowledge and horrible financial knowledge. it's not like my dad had never taught me anything, he still does, it just goes over my head. i don't find it important i suppose, or never did, but now i feel somewhat timid for entering 'the world'.

for example, i was under the impression i have a credit card. my gf told me last night it's not really a credit card, it's a check card. but i said it had the visa logo on it and can be used as a credit card. then she explained it to me and i already forget.

things like taxes, no fucking clue. or putting money into 'mutual funds' or whatever for retirement? i have no idea. i don't understand finances, my wife or whoever will need to do all the $ work in the house one day. i'm 22 and i still do shit when it comes to taking innitiative into financial reasoning. i can write checks, barely, i still fuck them up. maybe i need to get an idiots guide to finance.

finance & politics, although politics is getting better. i've just never had interest in them and now i'm having trouble keeping up. hah, i learned not too long ago about the revolutionary war. i still know nothing about it, but 3 months ago i couldn't even tell you who faught and for what. no, i still don't really know who faught. england vs. the settlers, red coats vs. the blue, whatever. it means a lot i know - i should know this stuff but my virtues lie in other fields

Just a few words, Quicken, and electronic bill pay, it will do most
of the work for you.

It can be an overwhelming pain in the ass. I was doing stuff like this at my old job, working for an accountant. I could only take so much of it before I quit. After about 2 years of it.
Managing clients, administrative stuff, and my own at the same time was a little much.

Im pretty illiterate in the financial feild, but my suggestion to get into the polotics groove check out CNN.com everyday. If you don't understand how something works look it up online.

I don't know about electronic bill pay. I tried it once and things got fubared. It would be alright if the money came directly out of your account and the bill was directly payed, but from what I understand, the transaction goes through some third party company and it can take a week to find out if it actually went through.

Electronic bill pay is great in theory, but I don't think they have the execution down yet.
