Duh.

Yet, there are so many, in our population, that do not seem to understand that simple concept.

It never ceased to amaze me how so many people I encountered daily over the years that did not have the insight hence the capacity to manage their money wisely

Duh.

I will stick with Duh Gomoho.
Money management should be taught in school. We knew of a couple that ate out every meal 7 days a week and went bankrupt twice. They told me they were just not good with money.
Yes there is a lot of dumb out there.

Here is a good example. Read this post.

It is on a forum of very young retirees and aspiring young people that hope to reach financial independence and retire at a young age.

Can't afford the gas to drive new $40K RV to local campground (http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/forum/antimustachian-wall-of-shame-and-comedy/can%27t-afford-the-gas-to-drive-new-$40k-rv-to-local-campground/msg237177/#msg237177)

Another Duh moment.
You get a ticket you go to driver school.
You go bankrupt you get a motor home.
Makes sense?

The Duh is mostly for Certified Financial Group. This is the best they can come up with for seniors?
This is stuff most parents tell their young kids.
