I read about personal finance every day. A lot of it is the same, the core principles- save, invest, spend wisely, etc- not exactly ground-breakingly novel information. I’ve read at least fifty different versions of emergency fund articles and another thirty about saving money at the grocery store, and yet, despite all of that, I never grow tired of it. I never think, “I don’t need this information” or “this is old news”, because even if it’s something I know, having a fresh reminder, particularly from an outside perspective, is something I find very valuable.
I feel the need for repetition in the lessons of personal finance in the same way I feel the need to hear my partner say, “I love you”. While I already know it to be true, I need to hear it regularly. Similarly, I need to hear those familiar money lessons often. Even though I know them, it takes that reminder, that moment of checking in, to make sure I’m actually implementing them.
