Top Personal Finance & Investing Resources for 2022
Boom! We made it to 2022 – another year of smashing our financial goals and progressing on our financial education journeys.
To start the year off right, I’ve refreshed my list of my favourite resources when it comes to personal finance and investing, which I often find myself referring people to. These are the books I read, websites I visit, and podcasts I listen to, in order to answer my money questions and level up my personal finance and investing skills.
My favourite resource that I direct people to on a daily basis is the Australian Securities & Investment Commission’s (ASIC) MoneySmart website, which provides a plethora of information and tools to use across a wide array of financial concepts and issues that Australian’s face. I usually start there as they cover the basics quite well, and then move onto other resources for more in-depth information if I require it.
