Learn what is important to understand about how the financial industry works. Recently I was talking to a friend about the book I'm writing. She mentioned a few things to me that she didn't understand. This woman is well-educated, middle aged and very successful. She lives in an expensive urban city. She's savvy, but I was surprised by what she had to say. 1. She couldn't be good with finances because she's not good at math. Financial matters have little to do with math. 2. Why are banks intimidating? She said she feels intimidated to go into a bank lobby and like she has to beg to get her own money. That is by design. You own your money of course, but banking is a fractional reserve business. That means they have only a small amount of cash on hand, the rest is created by computer digits, like when they make a mortgage loan. The worst thing that could happen is if everyone demanded their money at once. They do everything to discourage it. They even make you wait and have to send for cash from other branches
