Download or read book Tl dr written by Karl Fisch and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-05-05 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You know you need to learn more about personal finance in order to make financial decisions, but you just find it too overwhelming, too intimidating, and too time consuming. This book was written for you, giving you the basics in less than an hour, and then directing you to further resources (fischlearning.com/tldr) if you'd like to learn more. It's about 30 pages and should take less than an hour to read, so instead of TL;DR (Too Long; Didn't Read) it will hopefully be JR;DR;KM (Just Right, Did Read, Know More).This book isn't about "getting rich quickly" (not that's there anything wrong with that), but it's about gaining knowledge and building your capacity in order to live a good life. What's a "good life"? I don't know, everyone's definition is different. What's important is that you take the time to define what a good life is for you, and then align your financial decisions with that. The goal of this book is to help you think about your finances in such a way that you have the independence to lead the life you want to live; to give you as much control as possible over your financial situation so that your finances don't prevent you from living the life you want.I say "book" because that's what Amazon calls it, but it's more like a really long blog post. I wrote it because finances and financial decisions are such a huge part of everyone's life that they should take the time to thoroughly educate themselves. Since many folks won't do that, this book is an attempt to quickly give them the basics and hopefully encourage them - and give them the confidence - to learn more.I am not a financial planner. I have taught students mathematics and computer science for over thirty years, but have no formal training in personal finance or investing, and no certifications. I am simply a lifelong learner, constantly curious, and have been interested in personal finance since working in a credit union during high school and college, and continued to be curious and learn more about finance during my career as a public school teacher. Over my years as a teacher, I discovered that not only did my students not know much about personal finance, but neither did my family, friends and colleagues (I often served as a resource for those folks).Partially as a result of that experience, I see the necessity for a book such as this, as I wanted to do my part to try to help others become financially literate. While it would be nice to make a little bit of money from this, that's not really my expectation or my goal. This is a passion project for me. I hope folks find it helpful. If you do read it, it would be helpful if you could leave a review on Amazon and/or email me at [email protected] a "testimonial" for the accompanying website. I would also love constructive feedback at bit.ly/tldrfeedbackSo, about thirty pages. About an hour. Ready to get started? Future you will thank you.

Download or read book International Handbook of Financial Literacy written by Carmela Aprea and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-03-24 with total page 708 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Handbook presents in-depth research conducted on a myriad of issues within the field of financial literacy. Split into six sections, it starts by presenting prevalent conceptions of financial literacy before covering financial literacy in the policy context, the state and development of financial literacy within different countries, issues of assessment and evaluation of financial literacy, approaches to teaching financial literacy, and teacher training and teacher education in financial literacy. In doing so, it provides precise definitions of the construct of financial literacy and elaborates on the state and recent developments of financial literacy around the world, to show ways of measuring and fostering financial literacy and to give hints towards necessary and successful teacher trainings. The book also embraces the diversity in the field by revealing contrasting and conflicting views that cannot be bridged, while at the same time making a contribution by re-joining existing materials in one volume which can be used in academic discourse, in research-workshops, in university lectures and in the definition of program initiatives within the wider field of financial literacy. It allows for a landscape of financial literacy to be depicted which would foster the implementation of learning opportunities for human beings for sake of well-being within financial living-conditions. The Handbook is useful to academics and students of the topic, professionals in the sector of investment and banking, and for every person responsible for managing his or her financial affairs in everyday life.

Download or read book TL DR Financial Literacy for Illinois Teachers Retirement System Members written by Karl Fisch and published by . This book was released on 2021 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Full Disclosure: We are not financial planners. We have no formal training in personal finance or investing, and no certifications. We are simply lifelong learners, constantly curious, and have been interested in personal finance since working in a credit union during high school and college (Karl) and since catching the personal finance bug a couple of years after beginning his career as a junior high school physical education teacher (Eric). Karl has continued to learn about finances his entire adult life and has frequently served as a resource for friends, family and colleagues. He somehow became the "go to" guy in his high school for other educators who had questions about school district benefits, PERA (Colorado’s pension plan for public employees), and just finances in general. Partially as a result of that experience, Karl sees the necessity for a book such as this, so he wanted to do my part to try to help Illinois educators become financially literate and optimize their financial lives based on their TRS benefits. Eric has begun to share his knowledge through presentations to students and colleagues whenever he gets the chance. Now, as a teacher educator, he is able to incorporate basic facts about financial planning to his students who will one day become teachers. He wants the critical information about financial literacy to reach as many teachers as possible so they do not have to stress about money, because teaching is stressful enough on its own."
