Okay, fellow forum members, let’s chat. So, I’ve recently dived into this murky world of personal finance and man, it’s a doozy. Who knew you needed a finance degree just to figure out your retirement plan?
My main goal right now is just to get a handle on this whole personal finance shindig. So where should I start, what’s the best step to understanding all this financial mumbo jumbo?
Like, I want to start saving for something big. Maybe a house or that dream trip to Bali once this pandemic’s a thing of the past. I’ve been stashing money under my mattress (okay not literally, but you get the drift), yet I feel like I could probably be doing something more productive with it.
Then there’s the matter of investments, it’s all over the news these days with GameStop and whatnot. But is it really something every Tom, Dick and Harriet should get their hands dirty with? It seems like everyone’s all of a sudden turned into Warren Buffet.
And let’s not even start on retirement funds. I’m in my late 20’s and I’ve been told now’s the time to get the ball rolling on that stuff. But it’s all like an alien language to me.
So, those are some of the areas I’m looking to get my head around. If you guys have any advice, links, resources or good old 🤔
