Should you start investing today? Well that depends on who you ask. Investing is highly personal. Every individual tolerates different risk levels and long-term goals so there’s no one-size-fits-all recommendation. You should be suspicious of anyone who prescribes you a ‘get rich quick’ strategy – even if they’re a certified financial advisor.

In this episode, you will hear about:

  • Emergency Funds

  • How debt works

  • Plan B

  • How to determine your risk level

  • Tax Advantaged investing options

  • How to know when you're ready to start investing

Before I continue, here’s my disclaimer: I am not a certified financial advisor. I cannot legally give you financial advice. Please don’t ask me to do so.

What I will be discussing is my own financial strategy, how I knew I was ready to invest, and specific scenarios that apply to my unique circumstances.
