Hello everyone! Welcome to The Finance Castle. As you can see, there’s not much to it just yet. I’ve chosen the castle as my theme simply because I’m a history buff, and I think the concepts to a castle apply in many ways to our financial lives.
After all, what’s one of the biggest reasons we spend less than we earn? Why do we start an emergency fund? Why is it important to diversify your assets? In a word: Security. Castles provided defenses of their own, guarding the resources and people inside them, much like our portfolios and various income-producing assets provide financial defense against the inevitable curveballs that life throws at us.
I’m sure my readership is pretty close to 0, but I’m very interested to see what people would like to see out of a new financial blog. So many topics are already covered, I think finding my own niche will be extraordinarily difficult. Regardless I’ll push on, and I hope you enjoy your stay as I continue to build up the site.
