Prior to a few months ago I had very poor financial knowledge, and was pretty horrid in managing it. I'm not a huge spender, but it defintely wasn't "working for me". Which is why I've been on a mission to learn and change that....i've started investing more in my 401k (american version of RRSP), getting involved in the stock market, and making sure all my cash is in high-interest accounts etc.
I still don't have too much money, but I feel like learning about this stuff has made me at the very least feel much more in control. I now know what it takes to get me there, and atleast feel secure in the knowledge.
