Financial Planning for the Totally Innumerate (Part 1: Savings) | Think Tank | Big Think

Financial Planning for the Totally Innumerate (Part 1: Savings) | Think Tank | Big Think:

Great advice from Zvi Bodie!

"Don’t try to become an expert in finance, but don’t outsource your decisions, either. You’re a novelist. You don’t have time to read textbooks on investment strategy. But neither, says Bodie, can you afford to ignore financial matters or outsource them to professional advisors who are trying to sell you insurance or a mutual fund. Take your finances as seriously as you take major health decisions – you don’t have to be a doctor to do some research, ask the right questions, and get a second opinion."
