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.
- They always seem to show the negative side of things.
- 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.
- 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.
