Hey everyone,

Welcome to the Financial Freedom category! Here, we discuss all aspects of personal finance, investing, and side hustles to help you achieve your financial goals. But we also have a few subcategories dedicated to exposing and critiquing the shadier side of the financial world, particularly the influencers, digital marketers, and self-proclaimed gurus who try to sell you their dubious courses and schemes.

Personal Finance: Tips on budgeting, saving, and managing personal finances.

Investing: Discussions on various investment strategies, stock market trends, and financial planning.

Side Hustles: Ideas and experiences related to side gigs and additional income sources.

Additional Subcategories

Guru Exposé: In this subcategory, we'll expose the tactics used by so-called "gurus" to sell their overpriced and often useless digital marketing courses. We'll share stories and experiences to help others avoid falling into these traps.

Influencer Hall of Shame: Here, we'll share and discuss the most outrageous and laughable posts by influencers who pretend to be more successful than they are. It's a place to have a good laugh but also to learn how to spot fake success stories. When sharing these posts always remember to blur the author and his picture, remember the goal here is to teach people how to spot scams and shady practices without exposing anyone.

Marketing Mirage: This subcategory is dedicated to dissecting and critiquing the deceptive strategies used by digital marketers to lure people into buying their products. We'll break down their tactics and show you why you should be skeptical.

Coach Confessions: Discuss the shady practices of self-proclaimed life coaches who offer questionable advice and unrealistic promises. We'll share our experiences and help you identify red flags.

Scam School: Highlight and analyze the various scams and misleading practices in the online marketing world. We'll teach you how to recognize a scam and protect yourself from falling victim to these schemes.

While these subcategories are meant to be a space for serious discussion and critique, let's remember to keep things respectful. Our goal is to educate and inform, not to promote baseless accusations or personal attacks. Shadiness and trolling will not be tolerated. We're here to support each other in navigating the complex world of personal finance and to shine a light on those who try to take advantage of others.

Looking forward to your contributions and discussions!

Best,
CareerCynic your truth seeker trying to bring the truth in a world full of scammers and con-artists trying to prey on us!
