Ask HN: Getting started with personal investing
Hi HN, I'd love to get your thoughts and ideas on books / resources to start investing as an individual.
The idea is that, as a 28 year old, I'm now able to put some money aside and I'm interested in investing it — but lack a strategy or the foundation to build one.
Any book recommendations, blogs, podcasts, or other would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

- carlsednaoui 10y agoNice, how have you been liking Wealthfront? I do have an account with Betterment (I think they're both practically the same).

- carlsednaoui 10y agoThanks for the input. How would you go about diversifying? E.g. Hold savings in different currencies? Mix of stocks, bonds, REITs? Let me know what you think.
