Hey there!
If you’re reading this, it’s probably because, like many young people today, you’re passionate but a bit lost, curious but unsure, and you want to understand the world before diving in. You’re looking for answers but don’t always have a guide or a mentor around you.
That’s exactly why I created this newsletter. Every week, we’ll cover a topic chosen by you, so you can learn step by step, at your own pace, and feel more confident in your decisions.
I’m Tawfik, founder of EconomyForElite. I spent almost 3 years on a trading floor, successfully managed a $50k prop trading account, earned several certifications (Yale, Erasmus, Binance), and now work in Luxembourg Private Equity . My goal is simple: share what I’ve learned and show you that you can master economics and finance in a progressive, fun, and practical way, even without a mentor.
That’s not me
Why Choose Economics and Finance?
1. Understand how the world works
Every day, companies, banks, and governments make decisions that affect your life. Knowing how it works gives you a real advantage to spot opportunities and avoid mistakes.
2. Skills that matter everywhere
Analyzing a chart, understanding inflation, spotting an investment opportunity… these skills aren’t just for finance. They help you in your future job, personal projects, and life choices.
3. Academic vs Self-taught – Let’s be real
Academic: you follow courses at school or university. Pros: structured learning, teachers to explain things, and it can open doors for jobs. Cons: sometimes slow, very theoretical, and not always connected to real life.
Self-taught: you learn by yourself—reading, testing, watching videos, or talking to others. Pros: fast progress, you learn exactly what you want, and you can apply it immediately. Cons: easy to get lost, discouraged, or find wrong information.
Pro tip: the best way is to mix both: use the academic structure when it helps, but take initiative and try things yourself.
4. A field with a future
Economics and finance never get outdated. Crises, innovations, globalization… understanding these mechanisms gives you a huge advantage to make better decisions in life and projects.
5. My experience
When I started, I had no mentor, no clear model. What guided me was curiosity, observation, and action. Now, I share what I’ve learned so you can move faster and safer.
