It's the good old debate on building human capital vs. financial capital.

This is really cool, albeit a bit high-level and leaves you with the question: ok, what does this actually mean for me?

I hate these startup plugs on random threads (genuinely), but here it actually might be helpful for people. At Finimize, we're basically taking all the stuff that Adam is talking about and we're putting it into an algorithm that will tell you what you should be doing – from savings to investments to debt.

Like I said, not trying to pitch anything here, but feel free to check it out www.finimize.com/mylife – or ping me an email to hello[at]finimize.com if you want to get a demo (we're still in closed beta).

Peace!

Hey everyone,

Just a bit about why I create this service.

Basically, I created Finimize so we, the millennials, can finally start understanding finance. Too many hours are spent forcing ourselves to read the Wall Street Journal or listening to bankers -- and we don't really understand what they're telling us and, in the case of bankers, if it is actually true. But it's important that we at least have a basic understanding of what's going on in finance, so we can manage our savings (especially in a world of basically zero interest rates on saving accounts) and somewhat understand what all these up-and-coming FinTech startups actually do (from robo advisers to lending providers).

So we built Finimize to give you a tool to de-mystify this complex world of finance. We want your finances to suit you, not the suits ;)

I would love to hear your feedback on what we're doing! You can either post it here or e-mail me at [email protected]

Thanks, Max
