6 personal finance lessons that I wish I knew to start earning

A few days ago, an Indian e-commerce company, PTM, released an advertisement highlighting the difference in financial literacy between men and women. In it, a group of 30 men and women of different ages and social backgrounds were asked to stand in a line while the presentation asked questions.
