I’ve always been fascinated by how stories can break down complicated ideas whether it’s explaining medical research or visualizing a storyboard for a project. Lately, I’ve been wondering how those same techniques could help demystify financial concepts for beginners.
For example, could comparing compound interest to a snowball rolling downhill make it stick better than a textbook definition? Or maybe framing diversification as “not putting all your eggs in one basket” (classic, but effective).
Has anyone here tried using analogies, personal anecdotes, or even mini-narratives to explain investing basics? What worked or didn’t? I’d love to hear how others approach making finance feel less intimidating.
