I’m 15 years old, and I would like to educate myself on business, finance and the economy?
What can I do? Does anyone know any good books, or websites that would explain all the basics of taxes, how the banks work, bonds, stock, investments, insurance? I just feel really lost in all of the stuff going around on the news and stuff, and I would really like to be educated on these matters.
Here are some great magazines / newspapers:
The Wall Street Journal = daily financial newpaper but also includes current events and other funner topics.
Money = monthly magazine about personal finance
Smart Money = monthly magazine that is a cross between personal finance and business finance
1) watch the news, but make sure that you are watching both Fox and CNN so you don’t make biased oppinions
2) pick one topic and start learning about it, ie: banks
3) If you try to learn about everything at once youre just going to get a headache
4) google will become your best friend
