People ♥️ Minafi!

Our free course has helped thousands of people learn
how to invest. Here's what people have said about it.

All articles in this course were helpful and well thought-out.

I learned a great deal and when I had a question, Adam responded quickly!

These articles have certainly given me lots to think about on my own FIRE journey and I appreciate the time and effort Adam spends to educate others.

This course starts from the very basics and takes you all the way through making investments and building them for long-term success.

No matter what step of the process you're on, there's something here for you.

Adam explains investing concepts clearly and gives challenges each week, which makes it easy to get started.

As a Freelance Writer, I liked the follow-through where each chapter flowed in sequence and was easy to understand.

As an Accountant, it was analytical with charts and graphs, the visuals helped.

Your courses made learning about Investments interesting. Thank you.

Frequently Asked Questions

General Questions

How long will I have access to Minafi?

I don't believe in subscriptions for access. Instead, all Minafi plans give you access for as long as Minafi is around for. I strive to keep Minafi's costs down which should allow it to be around for many many years to come.

Could I learn the contents of this bootcamp on my own?

Absolutely! The investing strategy I lay out in this bootcamp is the same one recommended by Warren Buffett, John Bogle and investment advisors around the world – diversified, low-fee, index-fund investing.

If you'd like to try to learn this on your own without the bootcamp, I highly recommend reading The Bogleheads Guide to Investing which will give an amazing overview of how to invest in the same way I go over in this bootcamp.

How does the give away account work?

When you sign up, you'll be able to invite one other person to join on that account. They'll get forever access to all courses as well! On your dashboard you'll have a place to copy an invite link. Send that to whoever you want to join and they'll get free access. You'll be able to see what percent of the bootcamp they've completed and they'll be able to see yours.

Personal finance is a household thing. When everyone in the household understands the finances, it lowers anxiety throughout a home. I sincerely hope this helps you both develop a shared, confident relationship with money and investing. If you'd rather share it with a friend, that's awesome too!

Is there any time limit for completing a course or the entire bootcamp?

Not at all. All courses are self-directed and self-paced. You can take it over a weekend or only visit Thursday nights when there's a full moon (Minafi's most popular day). Whatever works for you.

How do the coaching calls work?

The intro call is a 1-hour video call. If you prefer it to be audio only, we can also do a phone call or an audio only Skype call. I have a calendar that allows you to pick a time when you want to meet and we'll meet then – just the two of us.

These calls don't expire, so you can use them whenever you want. I highly recommend using it towards the beginning. Based on where you are in your investing journey, I'll provide a list of things for you to bring to the chat so we can get the most out of our time together. Many people have mentioned that just getting these things organized has been immensely helpful!

What devices will the courses work on?

All courses are designed to be viewed with a web browser. They'll work on a computer, tablet or phone and tested with Chrome, Safari and Firefox. So long as you can watch videos on Youtube you're good.

Can I take a course more than once?

Yep! You'll have full access to take and re-take each course from now until the end of time (or until Minafi is no longer around – whichever comes first).

Can I really pay whatever I want?

Yes, pay whatever you like! $1, $100, $1,000 – whatever. Minafi is a passion project I started after I retired. I don't need Minafi to make money to pay my bills. This money goes to keep Minafi running, pay for it's hosting costs and fund new projects and visualizations.

What if I have questions about the course?

There are a few options here!

  • If you spot an error in a course, please let me know and I'll do my best to fix things straight away.
  • If you have an investing question, either ask it in the discussion board for that course, or jump on the Minafi Slack and ask there.
  • If you have a personal question where you'd like to discuss in a video call, I offer personal coaching at a rate of $250 for an hour chat. If you'd like to chat, please reach out to me and we can chat.

How do I resume a course?

After logging in, you'll be able to see your current progress in all of your current courses on your dashboard. You can jump back into any course you've started from there, or check out the courses list to find a new course to start.

Pricing Questions

How long will I have access to the courses?

You'll have access for as long as Minafi is around (hopefully many years!). In the distant future when robots have risen and Minafi eventually shuts down, I'll give you a chance to download all content you've purchased before it disappears (assuming the robot overloads permit this).

Will I really get access to new courses?

Yep! There are no subscriptions here. Pay once and get access to everything. I don't have plans to create more courses on Minafi beyond the 10 in the Minafi Investor Bootcamp but if there are more, you'll get access to those too.

What's the difference between the free and paid courses?

Two big things. 1) The first course is 100% free to everyone and focuses on basic concepts for investing. These are a great place to get started though! 2) The free course does not include any videos. Some of the paid courses do, with more videos on the roadmap.

If I don't like the bootcamp can I get a refund?

Absolutely. There's a 30-day money back guarentee. This guarentee is for all plans. Just drop me a line and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

Course Questions

What is the format of the courses?

All courses on Minafi contain some combination of text, video, tasks, quizes and interactive elements. You can check out the course page for any course to see what is included.

The videos include some slides, but are often screencaptures of me actually investing or showing how to make real-world decisions. I love the interactive elements most. Those are helpful tools to visualize and understand topics using your own information and visualizing the results.

How long are the courses?

Each course on Minafi is different, but I try to keep them between 1 and 4 hours. This timeframe includes consuming content and completing all activies associated with the course. The total content for all courses right now is estimated to be 17 hours and 20 minutes. Whew, that's a lot!

Can I watch a course our of order?

You can. They're designed to be watched in order, but you should certainly skip lessons on topics you already know, or if you want to jump to learn a specific concept. Content is designed to build within each course, so lessons may reference parts from earlier in the course.
