Reply to comment by alexm2816 in I’m a 21 year old who wants to know about investing and just how economics work by [deleted]

I don’t know what specific questions to ask because I’m not sure what the focal points of economics are. I want to learn what points matter more than others and how I can use it for self improvement in regards to future planning.

If you read the wiki and review the sidebar information to give yourself a baseline you can then ask questions. If you want to study economics go study economics. Khan academy/youtube have plenty of videos.

I thought Khan was just for math oh my goodness. Thank you lots. I didn’t know they had other subjects.

Hey, I know the post got taken down, but I recommend the YouTube channel Two Cents for basic explanations of most financial ideas and stuff.

If you want some ideas about budgeting and how to save some money, I would recommend the channel The Financial Diet for ideas on how to set up a budget and plan for your future financially.

Ok. I will for sure binge those tomorrow. I think that will help me alot. I am a visual learner so I will try to also see if they have social media sites or blogs that provide diagrams. I’m sure they do I mean they have to.

I know tfd has a website but I'm not sure what is really like, and I haven't even checked if two Cents has one, but it's worth a look.
