Financial Self Help Books and Common Sense

I was in a book store today and browsing around and I saw many books on financial self help and how to reduce debt and play the real estate market and how to manage your finances, etc. there are old experts and there are the new ones and the breadth of the books on these topics are endless. But still you can see what kind of a financial mess we are in. It just comes to show that people are irrational when it comes to financial education. No amount of books can help you if you are not going to use common sense.

Even if people say that they don’t have enough time to manage their finances it is just not true. Like other activities managing your finances is should be on top of your priorities. I sometimes watch a show, where people with decent amount of income and savings ask questions about if they could be able to buy some stuff or how to manage your finances. The scope of questions is so vast and most of the times the questions are so simple and straightforward that you begin to question the level of education or common sense people have. Unless you are going to use common sense, the financial crisis that we are not enveloped with will not be the last one. If reading books can make you feel a lot smarter than this financial disaster that we are experiencing should have never happened. Only with using your mind and brain can you live your live comfortably financially.
