My Personal Finance Journey | First

As a finance student, I have always seen the educational system of my country as very porous and lesser in standards with concerns on how contemporary and practicable the courses I offer are. The recycling of knowledge of the 90s, higher numbers of old lecturers who are unwilling to update their old knowledge etc, can be so discouraging. (yes, I agree we can’t do without the foundations but it’s funny how the foundation never gets completed). I have always wanted to buy a share, invest in bonds, trade forex etc but they just keep looking all theories to me. So I said to myself, I can rely on this system to build my Personal Finances.

On my quest to build my Personal Finance life, I was all out for personal finance books, I followed finance coaches, venture capitalists, renowned authors, and professionals in the field, on social media platforms, just to keep updated and broaden my knowledge on the subject matter.
I have read books ranging from ones with necessary and unnecessary details, to point-oriented ones, through to ones that are quite applicable and inapplicable in our times.

The height of them all is finding it difficult to implement this knowledge due to complexity, fear, little or insufficient funds. Well, I am a dogged, goal-driven individual with zero remorse or fear of failure. I would rather fail or loss than live with the regret of not trying. I would rather learn and take baby steps till I can walk upright than give up just because my bones are too weak to stand. Truth is I have gotten burnt in this journey but then I treasure every scar and the memory it carries every time I see them on my body in the mirror of life.

This is an introduction to my schedule post “My Personal Finance journey” every Tuesdays. I would be sharing my life lessons in my quest to practically know how the capital market works, own shares and basically increase my streams of income. This comes with sharing my mistakes in form of stories and random knowledge that can add value to your personal finance lifestyle. They are basically personal experiences captured in stories(fiction or non-fiction).
