Today, we chat with Maya Corbic, CPA, who has written a book to help kids understand investing. We talk about why it's so important to start learning about money when you're young, just like learning how to ride a bike or swim. Maya shares some awesome tips on how we can make investing easy to understand, not just for kids but for their parents too. It's like unlocking a secret treasure chest that can help you do amazing things in the future. So, if you've ever wondered about investing or saving money, you're going to love what we've got to share.

About our guest:
Maya Corbic, a CPA and dedicated mom, combines her vast experience as a CFO, auditor, and tax accountant with her personal journey from a first-generation immigrant from war-torn Bosnia to a successful financial literacy educator. Having arrived in a new country with her family at 15 with nothing but two suitcases and $50, living in government housing and juggling two part-time jobs in high school, Maya's early hardships instilled in her the importance of financial independence. She and her husband overcame $60,000 in debt early in their marriage, achieving debt freedom, including their mortgage, by the time she was 32. As the founder of the Wealthy Kids Investment Club and the popular Instagram account @teach.kids.money, Maya is passionate about simplifying investing and empowering families to grow their wealth. Drawing on nearly two decades of professional experience and her life lessons, she is committed to teaching financial literacy to kids and inspiring hundreds of thousands of parents to raise financially independent children, with the vision to educate every child to become a financially independent adult.

Since the pandemic started last year hearing about investing in the news has become pretty prevalent in our lives. I invest and it's through a FinTech app that's for teenagers and kids and young investors. And sometimes  I feel like I'm investing blindly. So, I really want to start expanding my investing knowledge so I can start making better and informed decisions in my own investments.  I was reading up on some articles related to the boom in investing and I came across a recent popular article in Money.com, "new investor survival guide, how to make money and stay sane and today's wild markets"
I invited one of the authors, Mallika Mitra on the podcast today, to talk about her article and some simple investing terminology for young investors. Mallika covers investing trends, retirement and debt, and she previously covered municipal finance at Bloomberg news and personal finance and retail at CNBC.

Anthony Appleton-Tattersall is the perfect example of a young investor making sacrifices to get onto the property ladder.  At only around 30 years old he has bought and sold a few investment properties to secure his future and shares his knowledge.  Anthony specialise in  property in his own accounting business.  Anthony shares what he learnt and why he believes property is still a great investment and the sacrifices you have to make along the way.  My advice is do your research, ask questions and do your due diligence before you do anything.
