Don't Ignore Common Sense

最近令人心碎的事大部分源于对常识的忽视。骗子承诺的过于丰厚的回报涯骗了很多投资者。有些人认为房市和股市是只赚不赔的买卖，有些人则入不敷出。
Personal finance, at its heart, boils down to common sense. You have to eliminate your high-cost debt and get on a budget. You must save for retirement 3. And you need to make sure that you own a home you can afford and enjoy, as opposed to seeing it as a get-rich-quick scheme.
个人理财归根到底是常识的问题。你必须消除高成本负债，进行预算。你必须为退休攒钱。你还要确保自己拥有一座负担得起、又可以享受的房子，而不是把房子看成是一个一夜暴富的工具。
In short: Be prudent 4, save money, invest wisely. Getting back to these very basics will help all of us rebuild our portfolios 5 and set sail for a better day.
