learn to invest
smart money 1 year ago

I want to be smarter about money. I’m in debt, in school, no retirement fund, minimum benefits. Of course I’m young, no kids, I’ll have a PhD soon, I know I’ll get a good job some day … but in the meantime that doesn’t mean I should ignore investments. Something low risk to start…like a money market. I have to start small since I’m totally focused on getting out of debt right now. But, I might as well learn something in the meantime.

If I had everything to do again, I would have invested while I was in high school, but I didn’t have that knowledge then.

I too am learning how to be smart about money, and I’m learning how to invest. I don’t have much to work with, so I’m trying to come up with creative ideas to get my portfolio going.

I’m only starting with $10. I figure if I wait until I have enough to invest, then I’ll never get started. Now I can say I’ve started.

You can do it! I don’t have a job either, which is another of my 43 things I’m working on, but still I wanted to get started.
