Over the past months, I have noticed that some of my conversations with my close friends no longer only revolve around the usual "girl talk" (e.g. shopping, boys). The conversations have started to also include financial talk--- a topic I thought would NEVER come up in any chats I would have with friends!! But the truth is, ever since I've started working and have embarked on my career, dealing with finances has become inevitable.
As boring as "financial talk" is, it's very important. I am someone who likes to plan ahead, so I need to know if my future is going to be secured financially. In addition, now that I've begun to work full-time, I completely understand the phrase "hard-earned money"!. I don't want to fritter away the little amount of money that I earn, I want it to be saved up AND accumulate. I want my money to work for ME! Does anybody have any good investing/saving tips?
Now I know why my brother used to (still does?) read all those financial books like "The Rich Barber" or whatever when he first started working full-time. I still remember laughing at him and wondering why on earth he would want to read such boring books! Maybe I should consult him for financial advice then...
