How to Invest for Beginners (Step by Step)

[@nattyalexander]

Thank you for the live demonstration. Many people talk about investing but never really show how. This was great!

[@paddymurphy-oconnor8255]

And some promote platforms such as the one mentioned in this video in order to get referral rewards but it might not be in the best interest of the viewer.

[@mbank3832]

and they don't word it correctly. people will say "you need this much saved in order to retire". as someone who has no investing experience, you will confused "saved" as in you bank account but no, it is in your investment account... you need to have this much saved in your investment account smh

[@IonelaCh]

It's an interesting concept this from the standpoint of a frugal person. Basically, we believe in a frugal lifestyle, but invest towards wealth in the companies that rely on consumerism to grow and make the shareholders richer. The case of Amazon is very poignant in this respect. Amazon grows because people buy a lot of stuff they don't need to fullful wishes specifically designed for them by algorithms, to benefit people who are frugal and have enough money to try and secure a future of potential financial independence on the assumption that those other people will stay poor and in debt and keep buying. It's a strange world we live in.

[@richardb5730]

Very interestingly put.

[@loopernagic4658]

This is also in my mind. But as someone who grow on a developing country and raised to be frugal person by a poor family, I don't feel anything about it.

[@richardb5730]

@@loopernagic4658 So are you saying that in spite of the way investing works, as a person raised by a poor family in a developing country, you don't really feel like it's an issue or problem?

[@loopernagic4658]

@@richardb5730 I know it's a problem, I'm saying I don't feel anything sentimental about it. And what can I do about it? There's a lot of time I tried to be a good guy in my youth and nothing happens. It's hopeless with majority of people don't know anything.

[@LawrenceMill-p4w]

I lost over $80k when everything started to tank. Not because I was in an exchange that went belly up. I was just stupid to hold and because that's what everyone said. I'm still responsible. It just taught me to be a better investor now that I understand more of what could go wrong. It took me over two years of being in the market, I'm really grateful I found one source to recover my money, at least $10k profits weekly. Thanks Charlotte Miller she could help you too

[@monishthomasp]

Another reason people lose money.. Greed.. when a particular stock is rising or being bullish, everyone rushes to buy and dump when it drops in a few days’ time.. this, almost always ends badly.. ❤ I have a stock which I bought during rock bottom Covid time - at a total price of $ 1500 - it was a renewable energy company.. with a good future - went through a lot of ups and down over the past 4 years and many did panic selling - however I held on and that single stock is worth $ 30000 now.. I’m holding it till 2030 - my logic is this.. If I lose it all, I lose $ 1500 - at the same time if I gain.. it’s gonna be substantial.. either way I don’t lose much… 😊

[@MarkRoberts-e4m]

Success depends on the actions or steps you take to achieve it. Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Financial management is a crucial topic that most tend to shy away from, and it ends up haunting them in the near future.., I pray that anyone who reads this will be successful in life!!

[@mbank3832]

so simply put: invest in index fund and hold for decades

[@AnjaliMukherjee-be9zn]

Yes. Pick a good diverse index fund with a reputable company like Vanguard and hold as long as possible. The younger you start the better (you can cheaply invest and for say about 40 years with dollar cost averaging and end up a multi millionaire). But even if you're older it's never too late. You choose a fund which gives a high return over 10 years e.g VTSAX. And never sell when the market is volatile, it always bounces back. My mother passed away and left me some money and I put in VGS. Though I'm 60 now when it's doing well I cream some money off the too into savings.y

[@AnjaliMukherjee-be9zn]

The dividends are reinvested . If I took the dividends and stopped dollar cost averaging I would have $225 a week with my capital untouched. It would still grow just not as quickly. I'm going on two holidays this year and next year with some of the money I creamed off. You can use a compound interest calculator calculator

Hi Austin, thank you for the introducting stocks and index funds in an easy to understand format. I am 60 years old and have invested in cd's, treasury bills, notes and bonds. While I am interested in index funds, I'm not sure if it makes sense for me at my age, or if I should just keep doing what I've been doing.

Hi in simple terms could somebody please explain the difference between EFTs and index funds? And which is better. Thanks.

[@ElAgustin]

The main difference is ETFs trade like stocks where you can buy and sell them in real time prices. Whereas Index Funds trade once a day at market closure. If you're in it for the long term, those things probably won't concern you. The thing to look out for is the management fee and keeping that as low as you can.
