Watching Trees Grow

Week 7 of Office Hours

A straight forward great money question came up halfway through class, and it sparked an important conversation about how to get started.

"Gene how do I start investing?"

As a class we did two things to effectively answering this question:
First we went to Google
Then, collectively we built a 5-step plan

1. Knowledge
2. Money (i.e. a job)
3. Bank Account
4. Investment Account
5. Pick an "actual" investment.

In class we compared an S&P 500 mutual Fund to a Target date 2065 Fund

We compared 3 companies:

Vanguard: https://investor.vanguard.com/corporate-portal/
Fidelity: https://www.fidelity.com/
Charles Schwab: https://www.schwab.com/
