Hello! Pretty much, what the title says. In TMF , when I was reading about financial illiteracy, I got kinda scared and worried about my chances, cause up until that point - I was 100% on board with everything MJ was saying, but seeing all those financial terms made me doubt the possibility of me "making it". Even though I am technically a foreigner, I would consider my English to be better than most, but seeing these financial terms - I feel like I'm at the very start again. I am not even financially literate in my own language, let alone a different one. This got me thinking, what can I do to get rid of that worried feeling about not knowing anything and actually start gaining knowledge in the field of finance to end up being "financially literate" - But I'm talking let's start baby steps - like terminology explanation n shit. WHERE DO I START!??!! and how do I keep this train of knowledge goin??
