I find that I forget things a lot. I will often get obsessed with a topic and deep dive into it only to forget what I had learned after some time has passed. Recently, I have taken to writing down these learnings and my thoughts on it. While mostly for future reference, I figure others might benefit from it as well.

Books I have read

Recently, I read some place that Bill Gates reads 50 books a year. That is incredible. I wonder where he gets the time. I thought to myself that I should read more. I used to. But then grad school happened and then kids happened and I stopped reading. During the pandemic, I bought a Kobo (thank you to Dave Tompkins for making the task of choosing an ereader a non-task) and started reading again. I will try to maintain a list of the books I read and see how close to Mr. Gates I can get. I am aiming for 10 a year. Books

Financial Planning and Investing

Here is my personal writings on Financial Planning.

Some books that I highly recommend:

  1. The Wealthy Barber: The Common Sense Guide to Successful Financial Planning, David Chilton.
    In my opinion, the best book ever written for a layman to get their life's finances in order.

  2. Millionaire Teacher: The Nine Rules of Wealth You Should Have Learned in School, Andrew Hallam
    Also a great book on financial planning with a focus on investing. Spoiler alert: by diversidied index funds and stop thinking that you can beat the index.
