Don’t Get Your Financial Education From The News

by Christopher on November 11, 2008

I was watching the news tonight and realized that the news is a terrible place to get a financial education.  Here are a few reason why you shouldn’t.

  1. They always seem to show the negative side of things.
  2. The news is always slanted one way or another on a subject that makes you believe it the way they want you to believe it.
  3. They don’t always give you the straight facts on a subject.

So what would be a better way to learn more about personal finance?

The Carnival of Personal Finance will teach you a ton of new things about your finances.   This weeks addition was hosted by The Digerati Life who held the Carnival of Personal Finance #178.

In this week addition there were many great post but here a few of my personal favorites.

Take some time here to review this list of great post and learn something new about your personal finances.  Also leave me a comment and let me know what your favorite post was.
