Picky Flamingo – Weekend Reads (18/08/2018)

Welcome to the latest edition of Picky Flamingo – Money Flamingo’s Weekly Roundup.

Picky Flamingo is a collection of the best financial independence and personal finance articles I’ve come across during the past week. Expect most of the articles to be from Australian contributors, but you will also find some great international content. The articles cover the themes we talk about here at Money Flamingo – investing, financial independence, early retirement, personal finance, frugality, lifestyle, and happiness. Picky Flamingo is published every Saturday morning. If you would like my weekly picks to be delivered to your inbox, make sure to sign up for the newsletter!

As you might have noticed, there was no new edition of Picky Flamingo last Saturday. We were on a weekend trip and I had prescheduled the post. But something went wrong and it wasn’t published. By the time I returned home and checked my emails (to see a surprising amount of reader messages asking about the missed post) the weekend was over. So I’ve added last week’s selection to this week’s edition. Welcome to a mega edition of Picky Flamingo!

Presenting… This week’s edition of Picky Flamingo:

• From Australia:

  • The Relentless Progress of a Dividend Investor by Strong Money Australia

  • Building Incredible Wealth Slowly – Professional Advice by Pat The Shuffler

  • The truth about planning a cheaper retirement overseas by Money Magazine

  • Third Simple Step To Retire by Mr. Home Maker
• From the rest of the world:

  • The Greatest Thing Money Can Buy by Matt Kent on Medium

  • Eight Lessons After Eight Weeks Of Early Retirement by Early Retirement Now

  • 10 Goals to Hit If You Want to Retire Early in 10 Years by Retire By 40

  • Your 5-step guide to a “privileged” early retirement for lucky people by Think Save Retire
