What are the ten most important things about personal finance that someone without a finance background must know?

Very easy to understand list with prompts to go learn more about anything you don't already know about.

    1. Live below your means

    We learn this as children but too many forget this lesson.

    2. Avoid too much debt

    We learn this as children but too many forget this lesson.

    3. Build up savings

    We learn this as children but too many forget this lesson.

    Money in the bank is optionality beyond the obvious.

    4. Get a 15 year mortgage and live in less house than you can afford

    5. Drive Toyotas for 20 years

    6. Develop multiple streams of income

    7. Maintaining good health will save you hundreds of thousands of dollars

    for all the money you wont' spend on doctor visits and prescriptions

    8. Stock market declines are never different

    Eventually it stops going down, then it starts to go back up and eventually makes a new high. The only variable is how long that all takes. If you don't believe that, you should sell right now and never buy a stock again.

    9. Health savings accounts have more optionality than all other account types

    10. Keep some cash on hand
