Be ready for the next Enron

The other day I was on Netflix scrolling though all the options and trying to figure out what to watch.  I like watching series on Netflix because I know exactly what I’m going to watch and I don’t have to waste time scrolling through the options.  But I had just finished watching the last season of Peaky Blinders – which is awesome btw – and I like to give movies and/or documentaries a chance before jumping into another series binge.

This quest lead me to a documentary about Enron titled, “Enron: The Smartest Guys in The Room.”  I have to admit that even though I had heard about Enron – I knew it was a large company that went bankrupt in a matter of days because of some type of corruption – I didn’t know what really happened.

I should have known this because it was such a big scandal, but I just wasn’t interested in anything related to finances, money, or investing at that time.  Now I blog about personal finances, money, and investing so I decided to be more informed about these things.

I recommend everybody to watch this documentary or read more about Enron’s collapse because it taught me a few things.
