Understanding Your Finances and Money

Hello, my name is Gary and this blog is designed to help you to understand your finances and money. For many years, I thought I understood money. I was paid every month by my employer and then I spent the money on my rent, food and other things. It was only when I inherited a large sum of money. I had no idea how to invest it and keep it safe.
