How do I get started investing?

📺 Are you hesitant to invest in the stock market? Do you think you need a lot of money to start investing? Does investing feel like gambling to you?

Unfortunately, these myths have also created a stereotype that investing is only something that men do. However, the truth is that investing is accessible to anyone. In fact, studies have shown that women are often more successful investors than men due to their long-term approach and skepticism of impulsive decisions.

Before you invest, you need to have a full financial health check with your money. This means making sure you have sufficient emergency savings and are comfortably paying off your high interest debts. You also need to review your budget and know your incomings and outgoings. I can’t give your financial advice and remember that the value of your investment can go up and down!
