start investing

Already started private investments from the beginning of this year. Hopefully I can gain more experience and knowledge via ‘actually doing it’, books, and rich dad poor dad’s cashflow game.

I’m in an intro finance class and the world of investing is unfolding itself before my eyes. Stocks, bonds, and mutual funds-oh my!

We’ve been bombarded with the classic scenario of investing $1000 yearly and how compound interest makes you a millionaire in 45 odd years. A rosy, maybe not so accurate picture, but smart long-term plan nonetheless…..Is this the future of my next paycheck?

Any advice for the fledgling investor?

Had this goal for six months

have not invested anything

but then if I had – I still might not have had anything.

I sort have alway felt that I deserve to have anything for myself

currioulsy now I feel like I would be able to have something of my own – so may buy some premium bonds for me – normally if I thought of boying something it would have been for someone else.

Got this as a goal but havent a clue what to invest in.

Would like to invest in a race horse but that is not possible – will try to think about this.

Scary. But awesome!

I have been doing for a few years. If you can, invest in your company’s 401k. I also invest in a mutual fund.

Well, my investment in a mutual fund was finally received and I’m now happy I’ve made the first step in investing. I’ve already spent quite some time researching on various legit investment programs and I think I can understand how MF works already.

Next goal, understand how stocks work.

Yes, it can be hassle to invest.
But it is worth it, I’m moving in the right track.

I’ve made it my goal not to let this become a pet on my list; I will cross it off next month (August).

Good luck everyone

I am putting $50 a month into an Ameritrade account. I have it automatically deducted from my bank account right after payday each month. It will be a while before I actually have enough to buy any investments.
