The episode will be about the methods on how, as a seafarer myself, I save more money even on vacations as I know how tempting it is to just spend.

Aye! We have another guest in this episode and this one is special as his podcast was instrumental in my journey in investing when I was just beginning to find my way. My guest for today is Andrew Sather, host of the Investing for Beginners podcast. He has always believed that average investors have so much potential to build wealth, through power of patience, a long term mindset, and compound interest. He hopes to translate finance for all which I share in my podcast also for my fellow millennial seafarers. Andrew, with his co-host Dave Ahern, also have a website (link below) that provides so much value other than their podcast. It contains a treasure trove of articles on personal finance, accounting, investing and more.
Our conversation involves such diverse topics that the title can't do any justice. We talked not only about investing in high inflation and best management qualities but also on investing biases, portfolio allocations, personal finance and more. The talk with him was such a treat. Give it a listen!
