This is the first of a series of podcasts discussing effective money management principles. The best selling author of the book "Why Didn't They Teach Me This In School? 99 Personal Money Management Principles To Live By" introduces the purpose of these podcasts and uses a real-life example to point out the importance of learning how to effectively manage your money. The example points out that we are all taught that money is important and we need to find a way to make money. However, no one ever teaches you the most important thing about money - how to manage it!
