People learn about money in three primary ways. First is reading about money and finance. Reading can teach you the basics of finance, educate you on industry terms, and give you examples of what works and what doesn't. The second is through games. Playing games gives you virtual practice making decisions and following potential consequences for those choices. You begin to see cause and effect, without actually experiencing the repercussions of good or bad financial choices. Third, is a real-life experience. Once you have an understanding of what you should do, and virtual practice making sound financial decisions, you can move confidently ahead with actual choices that directly impact your life.
