At least that’s the goal, anyway. I’m not really one for resolutions, but one of the things I’ve been putting off for too long now (story of my life) is learning how to better manage my finances. Sure, I try to save a fixed amount of money each month, but that’s it—what I do (barely) manage to save is just… sitting there. At the rate I’m going, it looks like financial indepence will remain a distant dream for quite some time.
So I went scouring the net for interesting podcasts on personal finance—let’s face it: it’s not the most exciting subject—to help me get money smart, and here’s a list to show for it.
