Financial Jargon Cheat Sheet

Ever sat in a meeting with your bank, read through a loan document, or glanced at your investment statement and thought: “Wait… am I supposed to understand this?”

You’re not alone. Most people don’t avoid money because they’re lazy—they avoid it because the language feels intimidating, complicated, and overwhelming. Banks, lenders, and the financial system benefit when you stay quiet, nod along, and sign without really understanding.
