Yesterday while working on narrowing down my list of mutual funds for my invest 25 project I became a bit agitated toward the end of the process. Why? I kept running into road blocks on selecting the right fund to invest in. When I thought I had the perfect fund, I would get to the last step and one thing would throw it off. Then it dawned on me. If I spent as much time as I did on the research for this (at least 8 hours), and knew what I was looking for and understood the terminology and it still managed to frustrate me I could not even begin to imagine the frustration new investors feel. Which confirmed for me even more how much help we need in the area of money education for our society?
So what does this mean for you? I want you to know that I understand your frustration; it’s like learning a new language late in life or worse yet me trying to learn physics! I am here for you when you need guidance, just drop me a line. I encourage you to commit to learning more over time. Ultimately know that by taking small step to learning over time you will get to a place where you are comfortable with money. Please don’t give up. Only you can manage your money with the passion and heart that is your own. So take the time and learn and eventually the frustration will go away, and be reassured to know that even those of us who are knowledgeable are sometimes frustrated also.
