Managing our own finances

In today’s society, we are getting use to hiring out jobs. We get so accustomed to having others do things for us, because it saves us time, and sometimes we believe that others can do it better than ourselves. Well this article discusses that we need to be more involved in our own finances, and rely on ourselves more than financial planners. The author goes through some ways of going about helping ourselves with personal finances, and if needed how to get professional help. I think that if we do take more responsibility of our own finances then we Americans will be able to start saving.

I think Salty probably says it best. I think that finances are one of those areas where people's self-evaluation of their own skill is out of whack with reality.

Having said that, I'm guilty of that problem, and have cut corners on understanding where my money is going - so there may be some more pernicious aspect of human nature, since I should know better.
