Finance is a big word for some of us. It’s a little scary. Maybe you immediately go to thinking about “high finance.” That’s even scarier. But what is the field of finance really about? Money. Okay, so money can be a scary word, too, but it’s a little more manageable because we use it more often. In fact, money management is what finance is all about. It can also mean raising the money for something or lending money to someone on credit.

“Finance your dreams,” they say.

You read about people in ordinary jobs, with ordinary lives, who manage to save and invest their money so they can do the things they really love. There’s a whole book about that. Have you read “The Millionaire Next Door?” It’s a good book and it does give us ordinary people some inspiration about going for our dreams. You don’t have to become a millionaire, though to finance some of those dreams.
