"We know too much and are convinced of too little." --T.S. Elliot

We've become educated about every aspect of our lives but we lag behind when it comes to implementing that knowledge. We know it, but we don't believe it. Most people know, on some level, what they should do, yet lack the motivation and wherewithal to put those ideas into practice. I fell into that category for much of my adult life, but I've learned through personal experience and through the wisdom of others, that simply knowing about a subject doesn't make you an expert. Putting those experiences and wisdom to good use is what's important.

Such has been my journey in personal finance. I've made some gigantic mistakes, but I've learned from them and I hope my experience can serve as a library of ideas and knowledge about what NOT to do!
