Absolutely feel you on the overwhelm! Diving into the investing world can be like trying to drink from a fire hose. I started with zero knowledge myself and found that taking it step by step is key. A resource I stumbled upon that breaks down investing into digestible pieces is "Investopedia". It's like the Wikipedia for investment newbies. Their articles range from the very basics to more complex concepts, all explained in layman's terms. For videos, "The Plain Bagel" on YouTube is a gem. The guy makes finance fun and understandable, believe it or not. He covers everything from risk management to what bonds are, all without making you yawn.
And here's a bit from my journey: I once read this fascinating analysis on how COVID-19 impacted financial markets at
Thetradingbible . It opened my eyes to how interconnected everything is and made me more conscious about the need to understand market trends and economic indicators.
Lastly, don't rush yourself. It's a marathon, not a sprint. Learning to invest wisely is a skill that'll pay dividends (pun intended) down the line. Cheers to your financial literacy journey!
