Managing Money During COVID-19, Buying ETFs & Free Finance Events
Catch up on the latest How To Money news and events!
Dear How To Money Reader,
I’ve got a bumper newsletter for you today, as there’s plenty going on here at How To Money HQ at the moment!
Firstly, I’ve just published a brand new episode of the How To Money Podcast with Sally McMullen from Finder, one of Australia’s leading comparison sites. We chat about managing money during COVID-19 and creative side hustles.
On The Australian Finance Podcast, Owen got very animated when we discussed the listener suggested topic of the pros and cons of day trading. We also chatted about some of the recent ASIC media releases on retail investors losing significant money trading CFDs and the like. Both podcasts are available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify and Castbox!
Our friends at SkilledSmart are hosting a FREE webinar series featuring New York Times bestselling author, Robert Kiyosaki. They’ll be interviewing 3 speakers (including Kiyosaki) over 3-days to unpack the economic impact of COVID-19, and how people can financially survive and thrive during the economic crisis. I’d highly recommend registering for this event here.
If you’re intrigued by the FIRE (Financial Independence, Retire Early) movement, check out this great round-up by Pearler, featuring the Aussie FI community. The responses focus on how COVID-19 is impacting their FI plans and their best tips for others who're also on the journey.
COVID-19 has really demonstrated to me just how uncertain the future is and the importance of being flexible. The current situation has also reinforced my goals to be financially secure, so I can deal with whatever challenges that life throws at me.
Finally, if you’re keen to start investing in Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), I’ve put together an article of some of the key questions to ask before purchasing your first ETF. Although not an exhaustive list, it does give you a few things to ponder over and will hopefully save you from making a costly mistake!
As always, feel free to catch me at howtomoneyaus@gmail.com if you’ve got any questions or just want to chat!
