I am looking for an online resource to learn finances/economics/investment from the ground up.

I am using those three words because I do not know the difference quite well. The bottom line is that I want to learn how money works, and stop “selling my time for money” (working for some employer). Maybe starting a business, investing in real state, or stock market, maybe another route that I don’t even see…

  • I am looking for content ideally free, but good material deserves to be paid too.
  • Progressive complexity starting from little or no assumptions: several youtubers have all-over-the-place topics that they comment on, assuming you know what they are talking about.
  • Perhaps a book or series of books is the solution to this? Or an online course? But you know, every “money bro” says they have the best book/course ever.

thanks for your comments :)

    make a budget. save money

    once you have a 6 month emergency fund, you can start investing your future savings.

    when investing it’s good to diversify your investments among no risk, low risk, and high risk investments.

    successful investment is mostly a product of good habits and time, it’s not betting on memestocks or chasing investment trends.

    the issue most folks have is that saving and investing is boring… they’d rather spend their money or make big risky investments because of the drama and emotional highs involved.
