Description

What you'll learn in this investing class:

Investing can feel like a scary thing to dive into, especially if you have no idea where to start. Luckily, it's become easier than ever now to start investing, even with a few dollars and you just need to know a few key terms to get going.

In this workshop, you'll learn some investment basics to get you started, including some of the jargon that you'll see thrown around, as well as how to tie your investments to your goals, which types of investment products to consider, and how to actually read your investment statement.

You will learn:

How to create a savings plan that includes investing regularly
The basics of investing in the stock market, including stocks, bonds, ETF's, mutual funds, alternative investments, etc.
The best companies/products to start investing with based on your individual needs, stomach for risk, and goals
About your 401k/403b, pension plan, IRA, Roth IRA, SEP IRA, and where and how to open these accounts and how to invest with them
How to read an investment statement
about socially responsible investing

How to Start Investing If You've Never Done it Before

Reviewed by Danielle G. on 9/21/2017

Although the presenters clearly had a lot of passion and creativity, I thought it was a bit to cutesy and not enough meat and potatoes. We started late and then spent a lot of time playing games. The real content didn't start until we were three quarters of the way through the class time which meant that we ran out of time and didn't get through their whole presentation. I also thought that they spent too much time on participants personal questions. The content we got through was very minimal.
