If you're a late bloomer when it comes to investing in the stock market, this video is for you! Investing in stocks sounds intimidating, but when it comes to your retirement and retirement income you MUST be investing in the stock market. Whether you are investing in your 30's, 40's, or 50s you need a financial education and learning how to invest for your future. Investing as a beginner isn’t as difficult as you might think. The stock market is the way to go for building financial wealth over TIME. In this video, I'm going to share my screen and show you how to open a brokerage account, what funds I would recommend invest in if I were brand new to investing DISCLAIMER *I am not a financial advisor*, and how I look at a fund or stock to decide what to purchase. I share with you what inflation does to your money if you are not in the stock market, and why you cannot depend on social security for retirement. Investing doesn't have to be risky or scary and I'm hoping this video gives you the confidence you need, as a beginning investor, to start investing today!
