Maths gives you nightmares. You don't like numbers. Your brain freezes at complicated divisions. But is money only about numbers? Money is also words. Finance people use a lot of specific vocabulary, such as assets (things of value you have), liabilities (money you owe), stocks, bonds and net worth. Many people do not understand financial terms. If you are not sure about a word, you should ask or check it in a dictionary or on the internet. Money uses numbers but unless you work for an insurance company or the stock exchange, it does not require complicated maths. You mainly need the four operations (or the central concepts) - addition, subtraction, multiplication and division. You use them in your daily life, for example, to measure a room or to see how much money you need for a party. You can be very good at maths, but be hopeless at managing money. Money has a lot to do with behaviour. Spending wisely mainly depends on what you choose to use your money for - it has nothing to do with you being good at additions. When you go shopping, decide what's really important to you. To be successful with money, good habits are important. Set money aside for your bills and other necessities as soon as you receive your income. Track your expenses. Write down your goals and why you want to save. Imagine money is a precious friend you have to take care of. Don't spoil your friendship with careless behaviour. Money is more a life skill than a maths skill!
