I think that is true...Kristy - I agree completely! I think that is true for any kind of overwhelming task - especially one that seems complicated. Breaking it down a little at a time is the way to go, as is finding knowledgeable people or books on the subject and getting educated. Sometimes things like personal finance seems particularly scary because the words are unfamiliar. I know I feel that way about stocks. I don't understand half the terms! If I ever wanted to get into it, I would need to start by just learning the language.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14703479564503074258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-28843121527625999312009-05-27T00:02:26.929-04:002009-05-27T00:02:26.929-04:00Personal finance is definitely one of those things...Personal finance is definitely one of those things that, until you're in it, feels completely overwhelming. I like to think of it in terms of making anything you do more manageable. Inevitably, anytime we consistently look at the macro view of something, it is daunting. By breaking it into manageable chunks, we give ourselves the time and the room to understand various aspects of what we're trying to accomplish and to work on them. Take getting out of debt for instance. On a whole, look at the total amount of debt you have can be overwhelming. But, once you break down how you want to pay it back and then focus on one at a time, it FEELS a little less consuming.<br /><br />Great post!Kristy @ Master Your Cardhttp://www.masteryourcard.com/blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7019112442705574172.post-79684757725216959002009-05-26T10:08:10.496-04:002009-05-26T10:08:10.496-04:00Lowincomelady - Why thank you so much for the kind...Lowincomelady - Why thank you so much for the kind words!! I really appreciate that!! <br /><br />I agree - without knowledge, fear can take over, which leads to the "head in the sand" syndrome.
