I know I don't talk much about my individual stocks portfolio on the Money is Choices blog but I thought I would share which stocks I have bought the most this year in 2023. These are not recommendations and I'm not even saying I would still buy them myself right now, I'm simply saying that these were the most bought stocks over the past twelve months.

Free People Are Better People
I'm sure they're out there but I have never met a free human being that planned for and worked hard to achieve their freedom who sits on the beach or plays computer games all day everyday.

You Are Poorer Than You Think!
I've seen the same money message repeated a million different ways by as many financial writers trying to tell us we're richer than we think! Simply by being born into a first world country and having access to clean water, electricity and the many other conveniences that come with the good life.

What is the FIRE Movement? (Financial Independence Retire Early)
F.I.R.E. is an acronym which stands for Financial Independence, Retire Early. It's an online movement of people who are focused on retiring early by living frugally, increasing income, and investing every dollar they can now. It's said that the financial movement had its beginnings in 1992 with the "Your Money or Your Life" book written by Vicki Robin and Joe Dominguez. It … [Read more...] about What is the FIRE Movement?
