Going Back to Basics
Since starting this blog in 2020, we’ve covered a wide range of topics. We have talked about taxes and learning how to file on your own, understanding your 401(k) and the benefits of owning a credit card. We’ve discussed budgets in every way you could think of; how your personality effects your budgeting, different types of budgets and the 50/30/20 budgeting rule. At one point, we even threw in a financial challenge that proved to be a total failure if you don’t have great willpower (for me, anyway). It has been fun doing deep dives into the world of personal finance. All this big thinking, though, can cause us to gloss over basic financial principles.
