Like you, I too am accounting “educated” but as you discussed I was never introduced to financial management. Through my 20’s I kept a decent budget but it was just that….a budget! Budgets change. Late last year, now in my early 30’s, I invested in Quicken Professional (any of them will do) and have been diligent for the last 9 months. What a powerful tool….and I ‘m not even using the entire package yet. Just this year, I was able to change my net worth to the positive by more than 10K with a combination of expense management, investments, and debt reduction which I could see immediately with every paycheck. I’ve found the key is looking at your finances a couple of times a week. I can’t say enough about investing in this VERY inexpensive tool if you look at the return.
