I'm back!
Episode 25
Hi everyone - greetings from Austin! I've been off the grid for a few weeks and many of you have (very politely) reminded me that I haven't been publishing the newsletter. I can't say I'm sorry -- I was tied up the past few weeks with this new beauty in my life:
If you have any parenting advice, I'm all ears -- send it my way!
Now that I'm back in (somewhat) a groove, you can expect your regularly scheduled newsletter in your inbox at 8:03 am EST every Sunday.
Here's what I got for you this week:
The beauty of Compound Interest
The debt fueled world
✍️What I Wrote this Week
One of my passions has been helping people understand Personal Finance, Investing, and becoming financially free.
There are some things that are second nature to myself and others in the Finance community and one of those things is Compound Interest.
However, every so often I come across people that haven't heard of Compound Interest or don't understand it.
This week I wrote about Compound Interest and how it's applicable not only to Personal Finance, but all aspects of our lives. I hope you enjoy it -- you can find it here.
And please share it with anyone you know that doesn't understand Compound Interest!
📈 Chart of the Week
This chart also doubles as my Real Estate News of the Week. The amount of debt that has been generated across the world is one of the reasons that Real Estate valuations (and other asset classes) have continued to stay steady or rise during the past decade, and more notably this year during COVID-19. If there is a way for people to increase leverage and purchase assets through debt, you better believe it's going to happen. The printing of money and debt generation is typically used as a way to increase economic activity. However, given that we’ve been doing this during the bull run during the past decade what other tools do we have to deploy when we hit the next downturn in the cycle? At some point if there is too much debt but not enough growth, how can we expect this debt to be repaid? I think we’re going through one of the most important economic experiments of our lives.
Have a great Sunday,
