Personal Finance Guide

This guide is goers who want to take charge of their personal finances. Christian non-profit expat workers, or goers, live in unique circumstances: you live overseas most of the time, work for a non-profit and raise your own support. When you encounter information or advice on handling personal finances, it’s hard not to wonder, “does this even apply to my situation?” This guide was written for goers like you! It’s your tailor-made starting point for taking charge of your personal finances and pursuing Financial Independence (FI). Welcome to goerFI!

The Personal Finance Guide is split up into 6 sections.

1. Getting Started with Personal Finance
2. Types of Accounts for Investing and Retirement
3. Investing
4. Taxes
5. Giving
6. Insurance

The reality is that each of these topics is significantly related to the others. You can’t master savings without also understanding investing or taxes sufficiently. This guide will seek to show how these topics are related and give you a foundation to master them all. Each section includes main points, an approach to consider, and recommended resources to further your learning. This personal finance guide is not exhaustive, but rather a starting point. So let’s get started!
