When the alarm went off yesterday morning I got up and poured myself a tall glass of milk and ate a slice of pizza. What can I say I’m twenty five years old and I still do things like this. One thing I’m doing that most people my age don’t do is I’m reading a course on financial planning made easy. The reason I’m doing this is because I recently got a large insurance settlement and I wanted to do something new with my life. I felt the first thing I needed to do was to make sure I protected my money.
