Welcome to my website.
I am delighted that you are dedicating your precious time to check this website which I created with the purpose of raising awareness and sharing the knowledge I have gained, as well as listening to every single one of you. I believe that all things happen with the purpose and at the right time. Time is a precious asset and it is up to us to use it to the full potential.
The last few years, I have been educating and intensively engaged into investment and finance in general. During this time I learned a lot and gained valuable experiences. I noticed that in Slovenia as well as in the rest of the world, people have a negative attitude towards investments, since many of them think that the safest way is to hide money somewhere at home or to save it in a bank account. The undeniable fact is that money loses its value throughout time because inflation reduces its purchasing power continuously. For example, at the end of 2018, the 10,000 € that you saved in January 2008 was worth only 8,460 € because 15.4% of inflation during this period. I can really understand the aspect mentioned above, since I come from the same social environment. It took me quite some time, new gained knowledge, and above all - experience; to change my thinking and to be able to discern the good and the bad in the market saturated with many financial products. As a result of many bad financial products and general financial illiteracy, people have more of bad than good experiences or sometimes their neighbour or acquaintance has them. Of course, there are products that are good for the investor, but are rarely offered by the financial industry due to a conflict of interest. Therefore, basic financial literacy, which is not taught to us in public schools, is crucial for every individual and is much more simple than it might appear at first glance. |
My intention is to share useful information and encourage you to think and establish control over your finance. I will share knowledge gained from various education programs in Slovenia and in foreign countries and I will also tell you how and where you can find quality and equitable financial products. I know that with proper money management, each of us can establish own pension and financial security even freedom. I believe I can help you achieve that. My intention is sincere that is why I present my self with my full name on this site and share information with you for which I would also be grateful for on my life journey.
Who am I, what do I do and how I got to where I am now.
As any life journey, so was mine full of new insights, acquired knowledge, new acquaintances, friendships, successes, failures, challenges and aspirations to live life to the fullest.
Isn't it interesting how society, school system and the “system” convince us that the only right way to live our lives is to go to school than college and after it find a safe job, buy a house, get married, have a child or two, a dog and take vacations once a year, work until retirement and only then you can start living, because that is the time when you can afford everything for which you have worked for all of your live. Isn't it absurd? I lived with that belief too, because I did not know any other way, even though deep inside I knew that this was not what I wanted for my self. I wanted a different life, but I did not know how to change the course I was trapped in.
In that time I worked with great dedication in a full-time job. The experiences I have gained with it are invaluable and I am extremely grateful for it. This job represented to me financial security and I did not think about resigning it.
Then a few events occurred which woke me up and encouraged me to start thinking “outside my box”. I decided to live an honest intention - myself.

I started to include various activities in my life which filled me with joy and happiness. I started exploring areas I was interested in for a long time and until now it appeared as it was not important for me to follow myself.
Among other things, I have further deepened my field of research in finance and investing, which has always had my interest. I started reading books, attending various events, seminars and educations in Slovenia and abroad, connecting with people, experts in this field, etc.
What I discovered was amazing! It changed my perspective and all my subsequent decisions. I realized that with new knowledge, I could actually take care of my financial security and of my family, enable for my self decent pension, financial independence and freedom. I thought, why are we not being taught this in school? At least the basics. Why is there no class in school called financial literacy? Not even at the Faculty of Economics they did not teach us that.
When I made sufficient income through my investing I decided to consecrate on it full time and I quit my job. Nevertheless, I delayed this decision for a long time, because my thoughts and doubts were overwhelming me, primarily because of the environment, the people around me. Most of them told me that I should not quit my "safe" job, that I should think over, they said that I was crazy. It was because of their belief which is everything that is not 'normal' job is unsafe and is uncertain. I realized that I wanted to live a life of opportunity rather than life of regret and decided that it was the right decision and the path for me.

My former job was also hindering me from reaching new set goals, so I made the decision and committed myself 100% to my financial education and career.
My intention is to share with you the knowledge and valuable experience I have gained throughout years. I believe that each of you should know or at least be aware of the basics in this field because that is the only way you will effectively manage your finances and become financially independent. Everyone can do it. I wish you a pleasant experience while researching and reading content on my site. If you cannot find what you are looking for please contact me and I will be happy to assist you. May your life be full of abundance, joy and financial security and most importantly - with no regrets. I am here for you, Goran Skušek |
