The most important thing about knowledge is we can give it away and still have it.
I have the best job in the world - I get paid to think and teach. The goal of this site is to share what I teach in my finance courses by being:
1) Concise (I will use as few words as possible)
2) Easy to understand (I will use lots of examples and analogies)
3) Easy to read (I will write at the 9th grade reading level)
I am personally managing this site to provide a free resource for anyone and inspire future generations of lifelong learners. Everything in this site is 100% written by me and all mistakes are my own.
