As I’ve already written in a previous post, I’m a big fan of Mint.com. It offers a one-stop, online money management tool that’s much easier to use than any financial software (don’t get me started on Quicken!) because once you’ve hooked in all your accounts, it does all the work by updating your information.
But Mint.com also offers educational tools as well to help everyone (even Jane Dough) understand how to get a grip on managing money. And none more so than the article “Three Principles of Personal Finance: All You Need to Know for Financial Success.” As the article’s writer Aaron Patzer so succinctly puts it, about 10,000 books have been written on personal finance and for the most part they are 99% motivation and 1% information. Because when it comes right down to it, there are just three things you need to do to realize financial stability:
- Spend less than you earn
- Make the money you do have work for you
- Be prepared for the unexpected.
So, we suggest you save some money by not purchasing the latest best selling personal finance author’s book and spend more time learning these three simple rules.
