Month: December 2015

To be honest, I did not hear about personal financing until I started working. I had some idea about saving, because I’ve always been saving for something when I was a child: a new bike, a new computer or after I have turned 18, a car. But I shouldn’t be surprised, since in this corner of the world only a few people have some financial education and the chances that you have such a person in your circles who could act as a role model in this area are very low. Unfortunately in our country most people don’t trust the banks (which is not necessarily a bad thing) and instead of creating deposits, they hide their money under their mattresses. A lot of people only use their cards to withdraw money from the ATM and still use cash when paying in supermarkets.
