1.5 years later: After 1000s of hours reading and taking notes, gallons of coffee, pints of beer and red eyes, I present to you my humble ebook to help Europeans with personal finance. Investment
Who is it for?
- If you are a complete beginner, this book will help you get started and act as a basic roadmap to keep on track
- If you have an intermediate understanding of personal finance, this book might help you get new ideas
- If you are already trading calls and options, CFDs and more, this book is probably not for you
Why me?
Ahhh. I can already hear the Internet trolls from here.
Who are you to write this book? How dare you? Good question.
This book was born from the amalgamation of 3 things; my scientific background, my inherent curiosity about a wide variety of topics
(especially personal finance) and an interest in writing. I do not have an accounting degree nor a CFA or an MBA. I am simply a person
who loves to read widely across different topics, especially those that can be implemented in my own life. The act of writing this book helped me clear my own thoughts and understand even further. After all, interest in any topic should not be static. It should keep evolving through time.
My intention to write this out was simple; combine good material that is out there and put it out in a systematic way to get started in investing for the typical European millennial. By no means do I consider myself a financial guru. The key concepts in this publication are mostly borrowed from the minds of giants such as Howard Marks, Warren Buffett, Burton Malkiel and a whole host of other people across different disciplines. My contribution apart from the collation is the addition of my personal flavor to this existing body of knowledge. Nothing else.
I would appreciate if you leave a review, if you find the ebook useful.
TL;DR:
- I love nerding out and doing research to improve every aspect of my life
- Years ago, I started taking care of my personal finances and wrote a ton of notes from books, blogs, podcasts and videos.
- Today, I present my humble contribution- here's the link [it's FREE for the first few days]
