I am looking for an online resource to learn finances/economics/investment from the ground up.

I am using those three words because I do not know the difference quite well. The bottom line is that I want to learn how money works, and stop “selling my time for money” (working for some employer). Maybe starting a business, investing in real state, or stock market, maybe another route that I don’t even see…

  • I am looking for content ideally free, but good material deserves to be paid too.
  • Progressive complexity starting from little or no assumptions: several youtubers have all-over-the-place topics that they comment on, assuming you know what they are talking about.
  • Perhaps a book or series of books is the solution to this? Or an online course? But you know, every “money bro” says they have the best book/course ever.

thanks for your comments :)

    My dad’s favorite joke about being self-employed. He ran his own business for 40 years.

    “Being self-employed is great! You only have to work half days! … And YOU get to decide which 12 hours.”

    Can you be successful? Absolutely. But it’s a lot more work than just pulling your normal 9-5 in most cases.
