25 Personal Finance Articles You Should Read

by Momma · 12 comments

This morning, YL11 came to me in the kitchen and said “Momma… Do you what Mrs. Crawford says Debt means? It means ‘Don’t Ever Buy Too much’.” So, I thought to myself “wow, that’s great. She’s learning!” Then she said “Momma… Can I have money for the book fair?” And so are the days of our lives…

Great collection of personal finance articles! I’m honored to be included.

Kids are a hoot! I love my little girls with all my heart. It is amazing the sponges they are. My oldest has picked up a lot from our focus on Dave Ramsey’s teaching over the last 2 or 3 years. I believe these lessons will serve her well as she grows up and begins to handle her own money.

Feel free to use that acronym any time you want. I’m sure my pollywog would be excited over that.

Above the list I had read the Does Your Wallet Have A Leak? well this article had taught me a lot about saving money and its importance. It is a good idea to teach children in young age on how to spend money wisely

My favorite would have to be Credit Cards Are Like Alcohol. The stunning revelations are very true, and going out with a credit card with you is like shopping while being possessed by Paris Hilton.
