On Learning
So I realised that another thing that is important to spend money on is your education. There is much kerfuffle about tertiary education and how it doesn’t teach people anything and how it is so expensive; but I am coming out of my Degree and feel it was the best money I have every spent.
Regardless of whether I get a job university taught me:
- Social skills
- To enjoy learning
- A better understanding of the world
Even the ethics classes that I loathed taught me to be weary of capitalism.
But it is true, knowledge is contained in books and you can have an amazing education simply from the library. If you use amazon to see what books are the top in each field then borrow (or Pirate) the books you can learn almost anything for free.
Plus some of the best books are classics that are now out of copyright and you can download them for free (GET A KINDLE).
But there are some skills that have a cost associated with learning. If you get involved in the stock market or poker you should see the money you lose as the cost associated with gaining experience.
So it is important to spend money on your education, just be cautious about it (Use the formula: Amount Learned divided by Cost)
