Europe finances
« on: May 28, 2023, 02:12:33 AM »
Hello there,

Due to huge amount of information, its really hard for a "new guy" in his twenties to filter good and bad information about finance.

Living in Europe, i find hard to apply the USA finance advices here.
Could you recommend any books, any online channels, blogs for europe investment and "responsibile finances" that are worth watching and applying to the average east european earner 700-900 euro/month.

Right now im investing in iusq fusd an veur due to their price. The dream would be to be able to buy the sp500 but on interactive broker you can buy only the full share and thats way too expensive at the moment.

I started to track my expenses because there are some months when i have no money till my paycheck and start saving 10% of the income since last month.

Thank you!

One of my favorite personal finance bloggers/youtubers is based in Romania.

PS - as a bonus, much of his content is in Romanian.

Sorry missed the 'eastern europe' in the OP.

The Vanguard S&P 500 is about 73 EUR I think? If that's too expensive, how about

https://www.justetf.com/en/etf-profile.html?assetClass=class-equity&groupField=none&country=US&sortField=ter&sortOrder=asc&replicationType=replicationType-full&from=search&isin=IE000Z9SJA06

JustETF is a good place to find cheaper versions of things, I find.

But make sure you're aware of transaction costs.. Trading fees need to be under 1% if at all possible, and ideally much lower. Perhaps you can look into mutual funds, if they allow partial purchases?

They ate from Germany, but have interviews and ideas from all over Europe.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
