Resources

That’s why my goal is not to create a lot of content or detailed guides. First, because I’m not an expert and I don’t do this for a living. And second, because there’s already a ton of content online and elsewhere to help you learn.

So here I’ll be sharing a list of all kinds of resources that I use to stay informed and up to date.

But again, I’ll stress this: the important thing is not reading three hundred blogs, articles, or books and watching 10 hours of YouTube. The important thing is to just get started. Open your investment account, transfer 50, 100, or 500 euros—whatever you can—and buy a mutual fund or ETF. That’s it.

Websites

• Bogleheads — The world's reference for passive investing. A massive forum and wiki based on John Bogle's philosophy (founder of Vanguard): save early, live below your means, diversify broadly, and stay the course regardless of market conditions. The content is in English and heavily US-focused, but the wiki has sections for non-American investors. Most of my investing philosophy comes from here.
• Bogleheads in Spahins — The Spanish-language sister site. Designed to help investors learn basic investment and personal finance concepts, with the same Boglehead philosophy applied to the Spanish context. It has a forum, blog, wiki, and a very comprehensive guide. If you're only going to read one site in Spanish about index investing, make it this one.
• justETF — The tool I use to search and compare European ETFs. It lets you filter ETFs by multiple criteria. It may seem overwhelming at first, but as you get more into the topic, you'll be able to find exactly what you need.

Books

• Educación Financiera avanzada partiendo de cero, by Gregorio Hernández — The book that opened my eyes to real stock market investing. Gregorio Hernández is a self-taught long-term stock investor and founder of invertirenbolsa.info. No prior knowledge required: it starts from scratch and covers everything from basic concepts to long-term strategy. His approach leans toward picking individual stocks rather than index funds, but as a starting point for understanding how the stock market works, it's excellent.

Podcasts

• Your Money Guide on the Side, by Tyler Gardner — Tyler is a former financial advisor turned educator. In English, very accessible, no unnecessary jargon. I like it because he gives concrete steps, and many of the concepts and processes I use I first encountered or refined through his content. Heavily US-focused, so you'll need to adapt it to your own specific situation.

Instagram

• @homefinance.coach — Ours, right here. Had to include it, obviously ?
• @lapizarradeandres — Andrés González, teaches investing for free. His content is clear and entertaining, even if he always looks like he's angry at the world. Highly recommended for beginners. He also has a YouTube channel.
• @socialcapofficial — Tyler Gardner's Instagram (see above).

YouTube

• Ben Felix — Evidence-based, rational investing content. His videos are more technical than the others on this list, but they're grounded in real academic research. If you want to understand why index funds work and not just what to do, this is the definitive channel.

I will keep updating these resources, and of course, if you have anything to share, drop me a line and we can include it.

I hope you find them useful and that they help you take the first step.
