Summer, and above all, the holidays, are always the occasion for a well -deserved rest. For some, it is also the perfect time to take a little time for yourself, to learn and cultivate. And if it is the world of money, savings or investment that interests you, this is timely: several resources are available to you, perfectly suited to summer relaxation.
A vacation notebook for the big ones
First essential for combining leave and activity: the holiday book. Here, it is undoubtedly the very first dedicated to the financial education of adults. Designed by Fintech Mon Petit Placement and Mutualist France, this notebook in reduced format can be carried away everywhere “At the beach, by the pool, on the train or on the terrace”promises the coverage. On the program: four weeks of exercises and games at the rate of five minutes a day, but without being too “academic”, “in addition to the exercises, we also find arrow and cross words, a horoscope, texts with holes … The idea is to apprehend questions like placements, taxes, budget, which arise for young adults,” summarizes Thomas Perret, founder of my little placement. Note that there is also an “fuzzy” application, which takes up the principle of mini-games to learn the fundamentals of financial culture.
Where to find it? Distributed free of charge if you are customers of my little placement or mutualist France. Also accessible to the general public on Amazon and at Cultura at a price of 7.95 euros (110 p.).
A comic strip to understand what your savings finance
On the beach, before napping or in transport, there is no shortage of opportunities to open a good book during the summer. If you want, as a bonus, take the opportunity to come back from a little more cultivated vacation, this comic is made for you. The album First degree Was co-written by Aurore Pinon Jacques, co-founder of Goodvest, a fintech which distributes savings products (life insurance, per, booklet) respectful of the Paris climate agreement. We follow a character there, Jean-Michel, who devotes himself to all the small possible gestures to save the planet (bike, more meat, more plane …). Alas, he will discover that, “behind his back”, his savings well finances the sector of fossil fuels. A clever work to easily discover how your money is used by traditional banks.
Available where? First degreeD’Aurore Pinon Jacques and Ludovic Vernier (16 euros, 28 p.) In Prévente on Ulule.
Podcasts to progress in financial culture
For vacationers rather followers of audio escape, a multitude of podcasts are also accessible to perfect its financial education. We first think of the podcast “we speak cash” of the Banque de France, which addresses major themes (“What is inflation?”, “Public debt?”) And practical questions (“How to save with a small budget?”). For the most expert, we can turn to “La Martingale”, by Matthieu Stefani, a maintenance podcast to tackle major investment themes (“should we invest in European defense?”, “How to invest in precious metals?”). Finally, you can listen to the programs of the “Grand Reference of Savings” (Capital/Radio Patrimoine).
To listen to where? On all podcast platforms.
