I don't understand this principle, I only took 4 finance courses but does the rules of TVM (time value money) say the sooner you start investing the better? So why wait three months?
because you should maintain a cash savings of AT LEAST 3 months worth of paychecks in case you are suddenly out of work prior to putting money into long term investments.

Get a job and look for the next best deal.

I do it all the time. I broker different things. Find something you can get a good deal on and become the middleman. Where are you in Georgia? How soon do you need the money?

I think he'd rather buy a truck. :)

Exactly, he wants to buy a truck, not do a truck.

What were the titles of the finance courses and where did you take them? I mean, crap, that's really basic. :confused:
