“Invest in yourself, in your education. There’s nothing better.” – Sylvia Porter.

Investing in your education can offer so many benefits: a better career, higher income, and a happier social life. Gaining an education isn’t easy though. It takes patience, diligence, and hard work. This applies to financial education as well. Gaining financial education takes work, but the benefits outweigh the cost.

Gaining a better financial education can help you:

• Increase your earning potential

• Secure your retirement

• Pay off debts

• Increase your return on investment

• Improve your credit score

• Provide peace of mind with financial freedom

If gaining financial education offers all of these benefits, why don’t more people strive to obtain it?

As previously stated, financial education can take a lot of hard work. Many people don’t even know where to begin. There are so many different financial advisors out there who will tell you that they have the “one size fits all” program that’s right for you. So it’s hard to know what’s truly the best option for you.

Others wonder why they should gain financial education when they could just pay someone to do it. But the fact is that the only person fully committed to your pocketbook is you. No one will ever care about your financial future as much as you do. Plus, needing someone else to make financial decisions is a dependence… that’s not true financial independence.

“If you think (financial) education is expensive, try ignorance,” – Andy McIntyre
