Summary
Here we are at session number 109 , and this week we’re continuing my chat, begun last time, with Greg Davies, Head of Behavioural Quant Finance at Barclays. We’re talking about why investors are often their own worst enemies - it’s a fascinating topic with practical lessons we can all learn, so stay tuned for the conclusion of my chat with Greg in just a sec…
MeaningfulUniversity is finally ready to go live on 15th May. The first course there will be Learn How To Budget. A few of you registered on the site after my chat a couple of weeks ago with Martin O, which was meant to coincide with the launch of MU, but in the end I just couldn’t get things done for the 1st May as I hoped. As usual, I bit off a little more than I could chew! I am pleased with how the site has turned out however, so if you want to learn the best practice for setting and sticking to a monthly budget, then head on over to MeaningfulUniversity.com and put in your email address and I’ll keep you posted.
