A guide for middle age investors
Been lurking here for a while. Finally launched something. Made a PDF for people in their 30s/40s who make good money but have no clue if they’re investing right. Most stuff online is US-centric or for kids. This isn’t. Covers broker choice, which ETF and why, tax wrappers by country, …
