hi SFBWT! i’m in my 20 somethings and am looking for some guidance on how to get better at investing, both short-term (more active strategies) and long-term (building wealth steadily over time)
ideally, i’d love to find a financial advisor, mentor, or even a personal investor who’s willing to teach — not just manage money, but actually explain their thinking and help me build my own framework. absolutely willing to pay for your time and knowledge. also in search of platforms, communities, or specific credentials that would be helpful
few other questions:
- for those who’ve learned investing on their own, what helped you ramp up quickly?
- any books, newsletters, or people worth following?
- has anyone had success learning through AI tools or agents? if so, how did you structure that?
for more context, i work full time and have retirement and high yield saving accounts set up (& thankfully no debt). however, i feel like there’s more i can do than let my $ lose purchasing power and just sit there. i’m willing to put in the time to learn, i have a basic understanding but i want to become sharper.
appreciate any pointers or experiences 🙏
