Key takeaways
This chapter was about education – making sure that you talk to the right
people, plan for your future and work with a trusted team of people to
point you in the right direction. It was also about good debt versus bad
debt and what that means, and it offered some tips on how not to get into
a bad situation, or worry about keeping up with the Jones’.
It is all about education. You need to educate yourself by talking to
professionals, not your friends and family.
It is great to Google for information and to read books, but if it is not
specific to your particular scenario, then you could be reading the wrong
stuff. It is more important to get into a good spending routine and talk
to the right people. You have got to find someone you trust. If you don’t
trust them and the rapport just isn’t there, then you are not going to be
100% sure that they are doing the right thing for you. Maybe you know
other people that have used them before and had good experiences, but
it is about finding someone you trust.
Think before you do something and think of the future you – think about
you in 10, 20, 30, 40 years’ time and give that guy or girl a break.
