Homework
I've been talking with a financial/investment adviser about various things I need to do with my money, and it reminded me that managing personal finances is one of the very few things left in my life that feels like homework. I don't hate it, exactly, and I maintain a basic level of it, but the big things like Roth IRAs and tax returns feel incredibly draining, and I avoid them even if they're sitting right there and I have time to deal with them (taxes aren't quite as big a deal because there's a set deadline I have to meet). It's good that I'm talking to the financial planner because at least these things will get done, but it's bad because I still have to do all this work that I think comes naturally to him and is the exact opposite to me.

Could be worse. At least you have finances to plan about. Bag ladies spent their time planning the arrangement of items in their stolen shopping carts, you know. I wonder if it feels like homework to them? -blue
As a financial planner, let me tell you how easy it is:
1) Give us all your money
2) ?
3) You have lots more money and we have lots more money!
It's really that easy.
