Normal people don't read financial message boards. I would say just poking around here would put you in the top 10%.

I am upset it took me 6 months after college to finally read the Money Talk board. I figured as much time as I used to spend browsing the OT, and football related boards, it was time to dedicate it to finances and make myself financially secure for the long haul.

I am still a complete noob as far as acting on investments, although I rather continue learning up front and developing a sound base of knowledge before I make any moves. I have learned quite a large amount of useful information so far since reading this board, which is why I remain positive about simply building savings and making deposits into my retirement accounts.
