Foundations of personal finance

Protecting your digital identity

In today's digital age, our online interactions have become an integral part of our daily lives. With a growing reliance on the internet for managing daily financial transactions, protecting your digital identity has never been more critical.

Understanding your personal finances

Personal finance is essentially how you manage your money, including your income, expenses, and savings. According to Warren Buffet “The best investment you can make, is an investment in yourself... The more you learn, the more you’ll earn.”

The importance of budgeting

At its core, a budget is a plan for your money. It’s not about restricting yourself or cutting out everything fun; it’s about knowing where your money is going so that you can direct it towards what matters most to you.

Building an emergency buffer fund

An emergency fund is money set aside for life’s unexpected events—medical bills, car repairs, or, heaven forbid, losing your job. Without a buffer, any of these events could leave you scrambling, dipping into debt, or worse.

Start Investing

Once you have your budgeting in place and that emergency fund saved up, now you’re ready to invest. The idea here is to grow your wealth over time, but we’re going to do that in a simple, low-cost way.
