We all would like to improve our financial situation, but in order to be successful, we need to have some important math skills.
Learning math is not fun for most people. If you hate math, most likely you had a bad teacher in the past. Or you fell behind and never caught up again. Now's your chance to finally learn what your teachers failed to teach you in school.
Since more advanced math always builds upon simpler concepts, it is vitally important to first learn the basics before attempting the harder material.
Tips for learning math: It's OK if you don't understand a concept the first time you read it. In fact, you will probably have to read an explanation several times before getting it. Don't give up when you get confused. That's a natural process your brain goes through when learning a new concept. The confusion causes your brain to re-wire itself so that it can understand what it's reading. But this takes time, and usually happens while you are sleeping.
Start with an easier topic such as percentages. Make sure you are well rested and there are no distractions. Read the entire tutorial, even if you don't understand anything you are reading. Bookmark the page so you can easily find it again later. Wait a day or two for your brain to re-wire itself and come back for a second reading. Most likely you will understand more of the lesson the 2nd time through, but don't give up if you don't. You may have to read through each tutorial several times before the concepts start to sink in.
