Numerophobia

In my line of work, I have found that a great many people practice avoidance when it comes to finances. Frequently, they cite numerophobia – the fear of numbers – as the main reason for not taking an active role in managing their money. Does this sound like you? Do you believe finance to be confusing? Do you lack confidence in your ability to understand financial concepts like investing? If so, you’re not alone. Know, though, that avoidance inevitably leads to a reactive approach to money management.
