When was the last time you reviewed your investments?

I think the only time people seriously look at their investments is when they are filing returns for the year. And that too - they'd be looking at the investments for the year. Very few of us actually take a day off - even once a year - to sit and review our investments. To understand which of our investments make sense and which do not. One day - just to review our finances shouldn't be asking for too much. But I'm sure the majority of us don't do it.

Why?

The answer to this also answers the question why most people feel awkward talking or discussing investments.

There simply needs to be more awareness. Forget sex education - the government should focus on finacial education in schools and offices. Is anyone going to raise this issue anywhere?
