five personal finance lessons from harry potter

WSA adsense code -->

Yep, I finished the last Harry Potter book at 2:30 pm on Saturday (I’m a quick reader). What can the tales of bespectacled quidditch seeker teach us about personal finance?

1. Parents should make a will to provide for their children in the event of their untimely demise - as Harry’s mum and dad did.
2. Its not about how much money you have - the Weasley’s are much better than the Malfoy’s, even though the Weasley’s are not very well off.
3. Education is a good investment - without Hermione’s knowledge, Harry would have been doomed many times over.
4. The most unlikely hobbies can turn into valuable sources of income - Fred and George Weasley manage to turn a penchant for practical jokes into a thriving business
5. Your job is not as important as friends and family - Percy Weasley makes the wrong choice when he sides with the Ministry of Magic (his employers) against the rest of his family.
