A Monday Letter to You
Thank you for your subscription!
I could write about personal finance topics all day long. Then I stop and remind myself that I have a different journey and time frame. Universally relatable stories to all subscribers at a moment in time are impossible.
Organization and restart are in my professional DNA. New semester, new students, fresh learning. Every August and January on campus are my predictable starting lines.
The timing is different here. It is your schedule. It's not my schedule or our schedule.
This is a reset note for all subscribers, especially the 1,000 new subscribers who have joined Personal Finance Economics in the last six weeks.
I’ve been thinking about you and how I can improve your Personal Finance Economics experience. I have found a partial solution for paid subscribers.
You will receive a course and a book to pick up on your own time, and you can directly message me.
The objective of every PFE post is to bring economic knowledge to personal finance decision-making. Financial rules of thumb about savings rates, investment allocations, and retirement withdrawals are inaccurate.
Your money is too important.
As a subscriber, you’ll continue to receive stories that judge the economic effects of contemporaneous personal finance hot topics.
If you want to help yourself become informed, read the “Start Here” series posts. It is a tab on the PFE page. That is the spot that houses the course.
Your timing is impeccable. I started the series a few weeks ago, and each post includes course notes for my subscribers that I am building in real time. Yes, it is for paid subscribers. But hey, you get a book and DM capability with me to help you learn—$50 for a year—and you learn on your own time.
My Parallel Site for You
Personal Finance Economics houses all my content. Apart from Substack, I have a parallel site that gives topical organization to my Substack posts, and at the top of the list is the short course…. Constantly updated and a top-to-bottom chronological approach. Below is a view. Click through and see if the arrangement of topics makes sense to you.
Back to you soon.
Reading these articles and the advice from you while also doing the coursework this semester has taught me so much more than I thought. I love how the posts are very easy to digest and not too complicated if you do not have a firm background in the financial world.
