Your Financial Future Is in Your Feed

Hi Reader,

Welcome to The Money Series and if you are new here, thank you for signing up. Personal finance can feel confusing and overwhelming, but this space is about learning, growing, and figuring it out together, one money decision at a time.

If you’re intentional about becoming better with money, your environment matters, and that includes what you consume online. Your social media feeds, podcasts, books, and YouTube subscriptions should reflect your financial goals. Over time, what you watch and listen to quietly shapes how you think about money.

So this weekend, I’d like to help you intentionally curate your YouTube consumption in line with your money aspirations.

For beginners in investing: I recommend starting with this video by Nischa, where she breaks down crucial steps to take before you invest. She covers defining your “why”, choosing the right investment accounts, and the importance of diversification through pooled funds - principles I’ve also emphasized previously.

For those interested in passive income and early retirement: This interview with Jumoke is a must-watch. She was formerly an investment banker who invested aggressively and retired in her 30s. She shares her motivation, investment strategy, and how she intentionally prepared for a career break that turned into early retirement.

For aspiring entrepreneurs: Maureen walked away from a traditional career path as a sports dietician to build wealth through so-called “boring” but highly profitable businesses. She is on track to a seven-figure net worth before 30. If you’re exploring entrepreneurship as a wealth-building tool, this interview offers practical insight.

For non-finance professionals and parents: Bode, a lawyer with no formal finance background, taught himself how to invest and has also raised financially savvy children. His story is especially valuable if you’re starting from scratch or want to pass strong money values to your kids.

Remember: improving your finances is not just about earning more. It’s about learning better, thinking better, and surrounding yourself with the right information.

Reflect on This:

• Does your content consumption align with the financial future you want?

Till next week, I am rooting for you, money-ly!

Dee
