\ud83d\udc4b Welcome to MoneyMinority!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is it?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

What do you get if you mix Finance, Money Management, Investments, Cryptocurrencies, ETFs, add doses of Philosophy, Psychology, and Personal Development, and throw in some humour at the end?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’d love to say \u201cMoneyMinority!\u201d but to be honest with you, I\u2019d say \u201cwhat MoneyMinority is trying to be!\u201c.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Who am I?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

My name is Stergios (or Sterg), an internet freelancer with a natural desire to create and consume content about the aforementioned topics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you want to know more about MoneyMinority, take a look at about me<\/a> or contact me<\/a> just to say hello.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What you will find here:<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

I’ve kept an active blog since 2018 so, as you can tell, I love expressing myself through the written word. I believe that writing is the most effective method to learn and, at the same time, one of the most rewarding ways to express your creativity and ideas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Combine the fact that I am passionate about many different subjects simultaneously, and you have a recipe that creates a chaos of information that is difficult to navigate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So for everyone’s convenience, I have organized the content of the blog into the following categories. Take a look and, if you find something that interests you, read it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\ud83d\udcd9 <\/strong>Detailed Guides for Beginners:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The analytical guides are the backbone<\/strong> of MoneyMinority. Each guide tackles a unique topic<\/strong>, approaches it holistically<\/strong>, tries to analyse it from the ground up<\/strong> and simplifies<\/strong> it to make it understandable to any beginner. I try not to approach each topic as an authority but as a beginner who does his research, composes his text and, simultaneously, learns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \ud83e\uddfa ETFs:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    ETFs<\/strong> are top-rated investment products that have quickly become the first investment choice for millions of investors worldwide. They are investment vehicles that can be used by investors who do not have in-depth market knowledge and do not have (or do not want) to spend the time on the analysis required to build a diversified portfolio by themselves.

        \ud83c\udf93Economic Literacy:<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

        If something is missing in people’s culture, it is economic literacy<\/strong>.

            Mental Models<\/strong> are patterns, concepts<\/strong> and frameworks<\/strong> that help you understand easily how the world works<\/strong>.
            You can think of them as tools<\/strong> or methodologies<\/strong> you keep in your mind which allow you to bring order to chaos, simplify the complex, and interpret the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

              MoneyMinority’s passive investment portfolio is a Self-Retirement Project<\/strong>.
              In short, I will invest consistently<\/strong> (every 6 months), long-term<\/strong> (30 years) in passive vehicles <\/strong>(Broad Index ETFs) to create a portfolio that when liquidated in the future can be used as a pension.
