A guide to investing basics by the author of Broke Millennial, for anyone who feels like they aren't ready (or rich enough) to get into the market
Millennials want to learn how to start investing. The problem is that most have no idea where to begin. There's a significant lack of information out there catering to the concerns of new millennial investors, such as:
* Should I invest while paying down student loans? * How do I invest in a socially responsible way? * What about robo-advisors and apps--are any of them any good? * Where can I look online for investment advice?
In this second book in the Broke Millennial series, Erin Lowry answers those questions and delivers all of the investment basics in one easy-to-digest package. Tackling topics ranging from common terminology to how to handle your anxiety to retirement savings and even how to actually buy and sell a stock, this hands-on guide will help any investment newbie become a confident player in the market on their way to building wealth.
I appreciate that Erin gives you information to make your own decisions in her books (including a great list of resources in the final chapter in this one) vs just telling readers what to do. She just makes what could be some very intimidating and boring concepts understandable and readable. If you want to dip your toe into investing (or maybe better understand your options and what you're doing, even if you have, which is where I am!), even if you're not a millennial, this is a great starting point.
