Journal Club 08-26-22

Here's Journal Club 08-26-22! Every week, I hold a JOURNAL CLUB. After filtering through the articles on the web, I present a few that impacted my life this week. Be safe and stay well!

• A wise man once said a picture is worth a thousand words. That's true and relatable, as sometimes a still image can convey a complex idea more effectively than a verbal description. With that in mind, the Physician on FIRE sheds light on personal finance concepts using visual representation in the article – 20 Personal Finance Charts To Help You Build Wealth In 2022.

• By now, most of us are aware that by implementing a few key steps, anyone can begin their journey to financial independence and early retirement. But the question is, how do we know if we've achieved this milestone? Dr. FIREfly answers this fascinating question and discusses different types of financial independence in the article – Am I Financially Independent Yet?

• Whether you're looking to buy your first or next car, researching how much you should spend on it can be quite confusing as you're bound to receive a bunch of different answers. To offer some clarity on the subject, the author of Dr Breathe Easy Finance shares valuable tips to help you make a smart decision in the article – How Much Car Can I Afford – It Is Easier Than You Think.

• What comes to mind when you hear the term “wellness”? Wellbeing, happiness, or fitness, perhaps? Well, did you know there are various types of wellness, some deeply personal and some interconnected with your environment? So, how do you incorporate wellness on different levels into your routine that seems to be constantly evolving? Dr. McFrugal shares some thoughts on the topic in the article –  What Does Wellness Mean to Me? 

That's all for this week! I hope this week's journal club was helpful.
