I know investing seems like this daunting thing that’s complex, but it doesn’t have to be. There are plenty of resources out there that will help you get started with as much as $50 or $100.

There were only brief moments where they discussed what to do with an inheritance my dad received. However, they’re living off of a pension and Social Security and I know I want more peace of mind than that!

I know lots of people who put off investing because it seems confusing or they are afraid of choosing the wrong investments. Almost anything is better than nothing. Get started and figure it out as you go along.

I know if I had started investing years ago, I would be so much further ahead. But better late than never.

I agree with your statement that if you think you can’t afford to, the truth is you can’t afford not to.

Thanks for your informative post. I always learn something here :)

I wish more 20 year-olds realize why investing at young age made sense as many young people think investing is something their parents do. Starting young, even with a small amount, makes a huge difference in the long run and people make much more complicated than it really is.

I can’t imagine where I would be if I had started investing 10 years ago. I’m glad you’ve found something that works for you – I agree that balance is important.
