Courses
My friend Andy Hill (here on Episode 66 of The Best Interest Podcast) published a family-oriented course to help beginners get their finances on track.
I think it's a terrific resource.
Below, find both a free sample lesson from Andy, and a link to the full course.
Banks
Bank accounts serve two main functions:
1) an account you use for regular spending, preferably with local branches
2) a bank with high-yield savings to keep your large cash savings at.
I use a local credit union for #1
And I use Ally and Flourish for #2
Budgeting
I love YNAB.
It's detailed and requires your effort to make it work.
But it's so valuable if you use it correctly.

Investing Brokerages
There's a "Big 3" of brokerages. If you want to invest, it's hard to go wrong making a choice from these 3.
- Fidelity: I use this for my money. Low fees, great website.
- Vanguard: the OG of index funds. Client-owned. But the website is a bit clunky.
- Schwab: low fees, good user experience, lots of bells and whistles
I read and listen to dozens of articles and podcast episodes every week.
