Not everyone learns the same way. Some people learn through reading, others learn through the spoken word, and ‎others yet learn visually.  I am a mix between reader and listener.  I will also concede that I am a rather verbose writer, and am aware that I have written extensively on creating a financial plan.  As a result, I wanted to try something different with this post.

Every now and then I like to push myself out of my comfort zone, so I thought I would build a financial plan by drawing some pictures.  I should warn you, I am graphically challenged.  And since I suck at drawing, I thought the use of Power Point might assist in producing something discernible.  As most military officers know, nothing makes us more stupid than attempting to boil a complex topic down to a few power point slides — which is exactly what I did.  I feel thoroughly chastened by the experience.  Regardless, I hope all the visual learners out there enjoy the product of arts and craft day here at the Grumpus Maximus HQ.
