Flex your financial muscle

I have previously written about financial independence because it is my goal.  

I have always been thrifty; yet, in my early years no one told me that I could be more financially disciplined and more purposeful with my money. These days, however, I look around my house and instead of stuff, I see money I could have invested. I see days of freedom I would never recover.

How am I going to get rid of all the material junk? This is another question that frightens me. One day, I would like all my belongings to fit in two suitcases. And then a reasonable bank account would propel me into my adventure.

Luckily, some young people today are well aware of what they can achieve financially and how they can achieve it. Some of them even preach it online (see below)! Therefore, my child does not have to follow the road of extreme slavery that describes my everyday life.

For the past three or four years, I have listened to various podcasts on early retirement and financial independence; however, with time, these became a bit repetitive and boring.

Eventually, I switched to videos on investing. At this point, I do not need the impetus that is constantly drummed up in podcasts. All I need is to know more about the tools and the detailed implementation of a successful personal financial plan.

Here are some of the useful (and entertaining) video resources I have found in the past months:

Personal finances, taxes, investing: Money and Life TV with Mike the CPA

Investing, dividends, passive income: Joseph Carlson 

Investing, real estate, practical advice: Graham Stephan

Investing, passive income: Andrei Jikh

If you have kids, let them watch Graham Stephan and Adrei Jikh. After all, peer-to-peer advice is ranked higher than parent-to-child! 

I wish you profitable watching!
