Scope Of This Post
This post is a list of resources I found useful and a few thoughts not present in those resources. This post tries not to assume any knowledge of the world of saving and investing. A lot of friends and acquaintances have questions like "how do I even start saving for retirement or a house?". I hope this post will help those people see what their options are, and be able to evaluate those options...after reading a lot of stuff from different places. This is just a starting point; there is so much more to be said.
If you want to yell at me "I DON'T WANT TO KNOW STUFF, JUST TELL ME A PORTFOLIO", then read the oversimplified conversations post, possibly followed up by the steps to buy an ETF post.
If you have questions like, "should I prioritize my 401k or my IRA?", then read Reasonable Prioritizations Of Accounts.
Also, be careful; there's a lot of very bad investment advice out there (ex: "These are the must-buy Chinese biotech stocks of 2018!"). I hope to provide a safe starting point for people to educate themselves, but you should read my words with a critical eye as well.
