Finance and Banking

Finance and Banking sounds a bit boring, but is actually one of the most important aspects of investing. Most wealth comes from leverage - leveraging your time by investing in passive investments which allow your money to work for you, and leveraging your money by using other people's money to give you more investing power and magnifying your returns. This topic deals with leveraging money - how to borrow money, how to structure your finances, and how do deal with financial institutions and mortgage brokers.
