Howdy. Welcome to New Academy of Finance. This is our maiden post and frankly its a bit of my own personal self-reflection post. Well I have been procrastinating in starting my own personal site and blog for a long time – no time, family commitments, job security… yada yada, the common excuses I gave myself for just not getting started.
Well, i woke up one fine day and thought to myself, “Where did all the time go? Kind of a coincidence that a friend of mine sent me a tagged photos in facebook of us together 10 years ago. Oh how young we used to be! Not to worry, i still say we ain’t too shabby looking now.
Our challenge for today is just to take a minute (yes, baby steps) to reflect on the very fact that we only have one shot at life, so let’s do the best we can and not waste it.
Many of us (myself guilty as can be) have the urge to procrastinate and put things off until tomorrow. Well, tomorrow might never come. Let’s just finish it today.
I strongly believe that financial stability can be achieved by taking many simple baby steps to create a way of life that is easy to follow and sustain. The first simple step is to enrich your financial knowledge by reading as much as you can about the various financial situations that you might face, from this blog and many other personal finance blogs out there.
So readers, just take a minute and do a self-reflection. Time waits for no one. This might well be the very life-changing minute of your life!
