We're learning the alphabet.

Like it's a novelty.

Week three I'm like, oh, God, my head hurts.

I haven't learned verbs and whatever since year 10 or year six.

Like it was hard and it didn't come naturally and all I wanted to do was throw my hands up.

But what I know is that if, and we're going to go back to it, when we stick to it, when we practice it, we'll actually become maybe not expert speakers, but proficient.

And it's the same with our finance and financial knowledge.

Yes, you may not want to go and study at university like you and I have.

You might not want to become a finance professional, but you want to increase your knowledge to such a point that you're proficient in what you want to do in your life.

And that will seem a little bit hard.

Certainly when you're doing it, you'll feel like your brain quite literally hurts sometimes because especially if you're not used to thinking that way or especially if you've not taken the time to learn about money before.

But it's abso-freaking-lutely worth it, which is why I'm such a strong believer in education when it comes to finances.

That's an attractive language.

Yeah, how do you stop the lizard brain from taking over?

So that's why.

So I firmly believe finance is personal.

I don't have a one size.

If someone says to me, how much should you be saving?

I would say that's absolutely the wrong question.

So I believe finance is personal.
