VTG Education

Hello and Welcome to the Education portion of the Viking Trading Group blog.  We focus on stocks, futures, and options on the main site located here. 

The goal for this subdomain is slightly different, here I would like to go into more detail and depth about some more broad topics of finance. Whether it’s retirement planning, how to open and close bank accounts, or how to check your credit score. While these topics don’t match exactly with the main site, I have become keenly aware of how poor the US is at financial literacy. 

An example of this is that most people don’t realize that if you could save $100/month that could lead to an extra $250,000 in retirement assuming you let it compound correctly.  And this isn’t a complex strategy, this is “toss it in a Vanguard account and let VTI do the rest”. 

The goal of this blog section is to help broaden the financial literacy of whoever reads it. I have seen way too many people in my own life work well past when needed because they don’t do the small things well. 

If you think you are past it, and you would like help creating a more comprehensive trading or investing strategy you can find me on Twitter or my main blog above. If not, please enjoy this free wealth of knowledge and I hope it helps you keep more of your hard-earned money.
