There are many valuable things that movies teach us often and since they teach us things visually it is hard to forget them. Finance is something that everyone should know how to manage according to Clay Advisors. In many movies, the story gives us financial wisdom if we observe carefully. In this article, Clay Advisors suggests 5 movies are discussed that provide good financial knowledge.

Jerry Maguire

In the film, we see that Jerry works as a sports agent and though he earns a very decent amount he is not satisfied with his job. He gets kicked out of his job later and he had to manage work on his own. The film teaches us about entrepreneurship and following our dreams. It is important that we love what we are doing. If we don’t love what we are doing it would not be possible to put our efforts into it. It is also important to think about what goals are we moving towards in life and if that is something that we really want.

The company men

In the film, Bobby Walker is an employee in a shipbuilding company and due to recession, he lost his job. He used to make six-figure earnings and he used to drive a Porsche. He had to give up all his luxurious lifestyle as soon as he lost the job. We learn from this movie that it is important to save your money and prepare for an unknown emergency that can happen anytime in life. Saving is a very important habit that provides you security.

Wall Street

In this film, Bud Fox is an ambitious man who wants to work in Wall street as a stockbroker and he idolizes Gordon Gekko. Bud gives Gekko some insider information about his father’s company to get his attention. Later he realized that Gekko is too greedy and can ruin the lives of other people for money. This film makes us realize that money can play with the minds of people and how people can make irrational decisions when they let the greed of money get into their heads.

It’s a wonderful life

In this film, the lead of the movie George Bailey gets accused for theft when a large check goes missing in his firm. He tries to suicide when a guardian angel stops him and shows him how valuable his life is to his family and the community. He realizes that his life is important and that he was about to do a terrible mistake. The film teaches us that life is more valuable than money. People often have major financial setbacks but they have a whole lifetime for recovering from that and life is very valuable.

The Firm

In this film, Mitch McDeere gets offered an amazing job by a firm. Mitch just graduated from Harvard Law School and he found that the offer was unrealistic. He got a car, a free home and also high pay. He soon realized that the firm has ties to the mob. The firm tries to kill anyone who tries to quit the job. With the help of the FBI, he manages to escape. It is important that when life offers us something that is too good to be true, then we need to do some investigation before accepting it
