Financials Matter

"It's Not Just About Finance"

Why Most People Hate Math

There are a host of reasons why most people hate math.

But let’s keep it simple, shall we?

For the most part, math makes you think.

Ironically (or NOT) most people don’t like to think.

Why?

Mostly because they’re lazy and/or they have a fear/resentment towards math.

And they tend to NOT think in terms of percentages.

As a result, they make mistakes and get taken advantage of especially when it comes to money.

And when you calculate inflation, the losses become even greater.

Example:  A friend of mine was complaining about the price of a bottle of olive oil increasing from $7 to $10 in the last month.

And when I said, “so it increased over 40%” …he responded: “No, it went up three bucks.”

Technically we were both right.

But he missed my point entirely.

40% (actually 42.8%) is a whopping increase in price.

But most people will blow it off by saying “well, it’s only a couple of bucks so, no big deal.”

And that’s one reason why most people hate math.

It’s also why they make many mistakes when investing.

So, in order for investors overcome this fear/resentment of math we publish a Short and Sweet Tips column to make things simple and easy to understand.

And we publish it every month in our “…In Plain English” newsletter (HERE).

And to illustrate our point – combined with another shameless plug for our Black Friday Special – you can learn how to invest like a pro for a fraction (percentage) of what we usually charge.

We’ll even to the math for you.

 

Our annual subscription price is normally $145.

 

But during the Black Friday Special you can get it for $76.85 (That’s a 47% discount).

Get it (HERE).

 

Or you can get our monthly edition for $7.95 (normally $15).  And that’s also a 47% discount.

Get it (HERE).

Either way, both prices are a steal.

And unlike the $7 bottle of olive oil (now $10) that you use and must replace it (Probably at $11-12) our newsletter gives you monthly ideas and tips (Short and Sweet) that can save or make you $1,000’s.

And here’s your chance to become a member of our “Free Thinkers Club” at a price that cost less than a fancy cup of coffee at an overpriced coffee house (HERE).

Don’t miss this opportunity, Click Here right now.

And be sure to use the code Thanksgiving in the coupon section at the checkout.  It will automatically give you the discount.
