Using tools to reach your financial goals
One of my favorite flash games right now is called magic pen. The goal of the game is to use various mechanical tools to get a ball to the flag. The first few levels are fairly easy, but the later ones require some thought, and sometimes brut force.
Once you’ve played that game for a little bit and are more familiar with using wedges, levers, and planes head over the The Wisdom Journal and read this post from Ron on 6 simple financial tools. He outlines how these simple tools (and a few others) relate to personal finance.
Personal finance isn’t tough, but consistency and patience are. Just like the magic pen game, getting to the goal is just a matter of using the right tools in the right places.
