Things I Wish I’d Learned as a Teenager: Stuff Rots

Sunday, January 6th, 2008


Continuing on the series of things I wish I learned as a teenager, I’ve got a video expounding on the first point. The rest of this week I’ll be spending time focusing on the Credit Rate Reduction Rally, but I created this last week. Give this video a watch and chime in on your own ‘rotting’ habits.

Five Things About Finances I Wish I’d Known as a Teenager (Video)

Wednesday, January 2nd, 2008


As a teenager (and twenty-something) I really blew it. I made more mistakes than you could list off in a podcast (and still get anyone to listen to it). But instead of focusing on the failures, I’m going to list of things I wish someone had told me. Give it a listen and watch the slides in this movie file - ready for your iPod (or iPhone). The video is about five minutes long.

Teens and Personal Finance Interview One: Caity

Tuesday, November 27th, 2007

This is the first of a multi-part series on teens and personal finance.  The first part of the series is interview oriented, later episodes will be focused on answering some of the questions posed in the interviews.  The recording quality isn’t what I’d like due to the fact that I had my MacBook Pro and that was it for recording so there is some background noise.

Questions for listeners and readers:

What is the number one source you would recommend learning about personal finance from?  Blogs, books, videos or mentors?

What is the number one mistake you see over and over from people (and maybe yourself) that keeps people from financial growth?
