If a resource suggests any kind of particular stock picks, crypto or other "investments", it's bad. It exists to sell you a product.
- solardev 4y agoThank you! These are great resources. I've started skimming through them and will learn more in the weeks to come. Just created my budget for the year, which is a great start, but I have a lot more to learn.
