Might sound a bit weird, but it's opportunity cost. Sounds more like economic theories, but I had a mentor teach me how to apply it to real-life and it suck. (i.e. Do I take a gig on the weekend to earn som extra $$$ or rest?) It shifted how I think about time and money. Now I love framing decisions around, “What’s the trade-off here?” It helps people see that every ‘yes’ costs something else.
Not weird at all, this is a great example of something it took me a long time to realise but is such a key decision making tool
I need to look into that, I use a traditional budgeting method and I tend to not keep up with it because I don't think it works for me. For me, I love learning about different debt paymentmethods. A lot of people get overwhelmed by debt, especially if they have student loans, credit card get debt, medical debt, car notes… I like teaching people the most efficient way to pay off their loans to achieve financial freedom. I honestly felt like my financial life started when I got completely out of debt, and I enjoy helping people do the same. The only thing I don't like is when they ask me for help, I do a bunch of work to help them, and then they don't follow through with it. But I just have to get over that, I guess.
Double entry accounting. It was so simple until I started doing it. My whole career path started in bookkeeping and while the beginning was almost the end too! Eventually I got it down and now it’s like nothing to me, but oh how I struggled for a bit! Teaching others for me just involves a lot of patience and remembering how hard it can be sometimes!
Can you share more info on this? Thanks
Not necessarily a finance concept but I used to HATE using Excel. I took a course in college to learn more in depth features and I hated it. Now I have become the queen of spreadsheets and the person who teaches everyone else formulas and how to make a good spreadsheet with data.
