#3 Is definitely something beginners need to do before investing. I strongly believe in playing with “fantasy” money but one thing investors should do with this money is only invest the amount that they themselves will invest. Eg. don’t invest 100k if you are only want to invest 10k. Mutual Funds are always a great way to start for people who don’t really care to get into the markets but want a diversified portfolio.

“Your 20’s and 30’s are the best time to start investing – even if you never have before – because it’s time that will generate returns.” Could not agree more Mike. Too often we think that we can’t or shouldn’t start investing because we have “little” to start out with or don’t know what we’re doing – that shouldn’t hold us back as it’s the time/and starting that matters. If all else fails, assuming you have access to one, start with your 401(k). Even if you’re only putting in enough to get the match you’ll be off to a good start.

Aliyyah Agreed! Especially if they are within a retirement account. Since you are limited to only certain ones it makes it less overwhelming.

Glad to see you mentioned low-cost index funds. Being aware of – and limiting – fees may be the single most important factor once someone commits to investing.

I’m a big fan of mutual funds. I think they are a good first step into investing.
