r/fire - financial independence, retire early.

r/fatfire - same thing as above but for people looking to have more than "just enough" to retire (multimillion, mostly full of high earners like SWE's, agents or successful entrepreneurs where this goal is somewhat realistic).

r/personalfinance & r/ukpersonalfinance - well rounded finance forum.

r/frugal - okayish for if you are in a really tough spot. If you are doing ok I generally don't recommend them because ultimately you are trading your time/health using most of the hacks from here.

There are other country-specific personal finance forums on Reddit too, such as r/PersonalFinanceCanada.

r/financialindependence is the bigger FIRE subreddit

r/personalfinancecanada for Canadians, lots of great information here specific to Canada.

not a subreddit but I cross-reference bogleheads wiki and /r/personalfinance wiki anytime I want to look for consensus or diverging opinion. Bogleheads still has a slight edge on /r/personalfinance for its specific topics.

Between Reddit and bogleheads, that is all the financial wisdom you need. Bogleheads has deeply shaped my investment approach and it should be the same for 95%+ of other people as well.

/r/personalfinance ignore the subreddit and read the sidebar

and sibling /r/UKPersonalFinance for UK specific advice (since finance products, terms and laws tend to be different in different countries) There are probably ones for most other countries too. At least Aus from what I saw yesterday

/r/personalfinancecanada is the Canadian version.

/r/Finanzen for Germany, Austria and Switzerland :)

I'm partial to /r/financialindepedence

/r/wallstreetbets

Don’t know who downvoted you, but as someone who joined WSB two months ago, it is mind blowing. Yes, these are bets. You are likely to blow it all. But imho it gives perspective to the topic of personal finance. Even if it’s just to understand one’s own limits. Valuable sub.

I imagine that WSB is the internet version of what young wallstreet professionals are like.

Go out into the late evenings, drink excessively, do designer drugs, party it up, all while mixing locker-room talk and investing strategies.

If you’re following Nassim Taleb’s 80/20 rule, and have 80% of your money in bonds and 20% in high risk options, it can certainly pay off.

Please go to investing or personal finance, you're worse then OP.

Just lost all my savings, thanks.

I know we’re discussing reddit here, but let’s please keep the reddit-style quips off of HN

Knowing that sub, there's a really good chance that the person you responded to was not joking.
