The people who don't know personal finance have TV shows about it.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Truth be told, most financial television bores me. Two or more people discussing the latest economic trends or hot stocks is not especially entertaining.
I don't really consider myself to be a personal finance expert compared with some others. There are quite a few that know a lot more than I do.
The thing I have discovered about working with personal finance is that the good news is that it is not rocket science. Personal finance is about 80 percent behavior. It is only about 20 percent head knowledge.
I understand that finance can be very complex.
People who actually have money don't want to talk about it. They want to talk about everything else.
People are trying to figure out how to pay bills and make ends meet. They don't want to turn on the TV and say, 'What is this crap?'
People assume that because you are on TV you must be a millionaire, but unfortunately it doesn't work like that.
There are shows that are monolithic successes on TV that nobody in the business ever watches one episode of.
The people who know personal finance hide the money very carefully.
If you look on Amazon - if you do a search for personal finance, there are literally 20,000 books written on personal finance, and there's no real reason for it. I mean, personal finance is pretty simple.
