Share investing 101: The basics

I was 21 when I placed my first trade. There’s so much more I know today that I wish I knew back then and you too should definitely be looking to arm yourself with as much information as you can before you place your first trade. There’s no way we can cover everything you should […]

Microinvesting

The average pair of birkenstocks retails at around $120 (I think). Let me forward a value proposition. You could go all out on a pair of sandals so aesthetically offensive they inspired a not-so-humble smashed avo enthusiast to start a blog. You could roam around the inner-western suburbs of Sydney wielding a $7 crappuccino and […]

Dollar cost averaging

In an earlier article, Accumulating assets, we discussed our award-winning, ingenious get rich quick plan – buy low, sell less-low. Well, much like Patrick J. Adams in the hit legal drama which made lawyers seem cool (admittedly only to other lawyers), I’m a fraud. Yes, obviously it would be ideal to buy any asset at […]

Socially responsible investing

My endgame in life is and always will be to do my bit to help leave this world a little bit better off than how I found it. So far, I’ve done an awful job of that. If you’re reading this from any OECD country, chances are that you have too. To say that we […]

Diversification and ETFs

Imagine you own 10 eggs. You paid $1 for each of those eggs. You read online about an egg seller who will collate your eggs into a basket and go door to door and sell each egg for $2. We’ll call this egg seller the market darling. You deposit all 10 eggs with the market […]

Accumulating assets

One of the best pieces of advice I ever received early in my career was that if I wanted to be wealthy, I needed to focus less on growing my income and more on accumulating assets. In most OECD countries, this is true from both a finance and a tax perspective. Assets grow faster than […]

Died and came back to life sorry xx
There's another, *super dry* reason it's unwise to assume 4% as anything other than a rule-of-thumb. Sequence risk is the risk that a really unluckily-timed withdrawal damages your portfolio in the long run. For example if the market tanks 50% in one year because of idk ww3 or something, withdrawing 4% will take a bigger chunk out of your portfolio than usual and so in that case you wouldn't be sustainably taking money out of your portfolio
FIRE deserves all caps 🔥
If you had to read just one book, I'd highly recommend "The Little Book of Common Sense Investing" by John Bogle
You mustn't use it to buy GoPros and smartwatches, or whatever it is the cool kids are buying these days
We're an informed and financially savvy generation. We should be the first group of people to "un-normalise" bad debts
