It’s your money, can you answer the ten easiest money questions ever?

2. How much money do you have?
3. How much do you earn each month?
4. How much debt do you have?
5. How much money do you spend each month?
6. How much do you spend each month on debt payments only?
7. How much money are you saving each month?
8. How much is in your emergency fund?
9. What is your net worth?
10. What’s your plan?
11. Bonus question to make up for question #1: How many months until you are debt free?

How did you do? I was talking with The Wife today about how so many people are so bad with money and how so many finance books and websites are waaaaaaaaay to complex for the average person. I said something brilliant like,

“Maybe instead of getting more complex we need to dumb it down even more.”

If so many people are making money mistakes we don’t need more complex money teaching, we need less complex money teachings! Talking about reverse mutual funds and backdoor interest retreats isn’t helping. We need the basics! with your ideas!]
