You hear the word financial freedom and you think, “that’s cool, maybe I’ll get there one day…” STOP with the maybe and start paying attention to make this your NOW!
Education is the first step in any journey, but it is especially important in the finance world. So Many people have their ideas of what is the “best way” to get rich and live easy, but over half of those strategies depend on timing and luck or are simply flat-out lies.
Isn’t it time you stop working so darn hard for every nickel you earn only to see it fly out the window to your expenses?

There are no extremes! You will NEVER be told to stop living a normal life and eating potatoes and rice to become wealthy. That diet will only make you fat, unhealthy, and depressed and most likely cause you to hate money. Money Ripples will show you the right way to track money and save where you need to without sacrificing your life and happiness. We are focused on increasing the money you have at the end of the month in your bank account. That is step one in the financial freedom journey.

175. Shawn O'Malley - We Study Markets | Vanity Investing
25:36When too much Shawn is never enough. Here's part 2 of our chat. The highlight for me in this episode is the trap of vanity investing. It's when people talk about their investments as a way of showing how sophisticated they are. It's about bragging rights and commanding authority over the mere mortals who only want to invest in the boring old S&P500. Shawn likens it to the bores who only want to talk about their own importance in the workplace. Those will real influence are likely to not show off.We Study Markets is part of The Investor's Podcast Network, the home of the hugely popular We Study Billionaires podcast.This is part 2 of a 2 part interview with Shawn.

Casey Stubbs - Trading Strategy Guides | Stay the course, execute the plan
32:04Casey Stubbs is best known for helping people to earn income from actively trading the market. But he's also a believer in putting wealth into longer term investments that will grow steadily over the long-term. According to Casey, long-term investing is a game-changer because it allows investments to grow and compound over time. He emphasizes that anyone, regardless of their initial capital, can begin investing. The key is consistency. By adhering to an investment strategy and continuously learning, individuals can steadily increase their wealth. Long-term investing isn't a quick path to riches; rather, it's a reliable approach to achieving financial stability and security.Blog post available at: https://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/casey-stubbs-trading-strategyStocks for Beginners is a production of Finpods Pty Ltd.

Karl Kaufman - American Dream Investing | Cash without the smoke and mirrors
27:34In this episode Phil and Karl Kaufman discuss the importance of free cash flow as a key metric for investors. Karl explains that free cash flow is the amount of cash left over after a company pays its expenses and capital expenditures. Unlike earnings, which can be manipulated, free cash flow provides a more accurate representation of a company's financial health. They emphasize that investing in stocks is not gambling, as investors are buying a piece of a real business with a long-term goal of getting a good return on their investment. They highlight companies like Apple and Broadcom, which have impressive free cash flow growth, and discuss the significance of free cash flow margin as a metric to understand how efficiently a company generates cash. Karl also shares insights on stock buybacks, dividends, and the emotional aspect of investing.More Karl at this link: American Dream Investing: Expert Stock Picks, Texted To Youhttps://www.stocksforbeginners.net/blog/adiaug2023Phil's Linktree: https://linktr.ee/phil_muscatelloSharesight automatically track price, performance and dividends from 240,000+ global stocks, crypto, ETFs and funds.
