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 :)

    Intelligent investor. For stocks.

    I don’t remember the book on what bonds are and how they work. You should read about them too.

    You should have a glance at derivatives, options and futures to understand what they are but investing in them is like playing hopscotch in a minefield.

    Ray Dalio has a short YouTube video on how the macroeconomics work.
