Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School?

99 Personal Money Management Principles to Live By

By: Cary Siegel

Narrated by: Dean Sluyter

Why do high schools and colleges require students to take courses in English, math and science, yet have absolutely no requirements for students to learn about personal money management? Why Didn't They Teach Me This in School? 99 Personal Money Management Lessons to Live By was initially developed by the author to pass on to his five children as they entered adulthood. As it developed, the author realized that personal money management skills were rarely taught in high schools, colleges, and even in MBA programs.

Unfortunately, books on the subject tend to be complicated and lengthy. This book includes eight important lessons focusing on 99 principles that will quickly and memorably enhance any individual's money management acumen. Unlike many of the personal money management books out there, this book is a quick, easily digested listen that focuses more on the qualitative side than the quantitative side of personal money management.

These principles are not from a text book. Rather, they are practical principles learned by the author as he navigated through his financial life. Many are unorthodox in order to be memorable and provoke deeper thought by the listener. Not only an excellent graduation gift for high school and college students but also a great book for any adult!

Great Book for beginners

Quite practical tips

It was very easy to listen because the book is memorable. It has many useful insights and practical tips of what to do and what to avoid. I will definitely listen to it again some time later. Of course, if you don't have debts, loans or mortgage, you might feel the need to skip some chapters but overall it discusses most areas of life related to financial decisions. P.s. A pen and a notebook may be quite useful to write down some advices
