This season they will dig a little bit deeper into the investment side of things and thereby expand the  moneyverse opportunity set, almost like an advent calendar, where each month a new opportunity will be discussed.In this first episode, Arthi and Malika start off the investment theme by discussing education and how this is a form of investment in ourselves and for our children. Arthi discusses more on adult education which includes formal & informal pathways, and the potential rewards that can emerge from that. A key highlight is when accounting for costs of doing further studies, Arthi reminds us that beyond the explicit financial cost there are opportunity costs of not making this investment. Malika explores investment in children's education and provides some tips and tricks to help us budget for these expenses. Arthi highlights that what could be a success factor often not considered, is that children can, should and need to be involved, invested & informed about the costs required to achieve the desired education and goals. Malika and Arthi discuss more on the episode about:The definition of investmentEducation as a key investmentTips for education budgetsCost education calculatorand so much more!Remember: “when your hand is open to give, it is open to receive”We would love to hear your views based on the concepts covered in this episode. Do rate, write a review, and share with others.This episode is proudly sponsored by Old Mutual Wealth.🎧 The Swan Effect Podcast is proudly sponsored by Old Mutual Wealth, supporting conversations that help us build financial clarity, confidence, and long-term well-being.If this episode resonated with you, please subscribe, share it with someone who might need it, and leave us a review.
