Understanding the basics of investing
Fear and greed can drive financially ignorant people to make irrational decisions.
If you have money, you are likely to focus on all the new things it can buy (greed). If you don't have it, you worry you might never have enough (fear).
People who are ignorant about how to manage their finances are especially prone to letting these emotions drive their decision-making.
By building up your financial knowledge about things like investments, risk and debt, you can counter these emotions, and place you in a better position to make rational decisions.
