Here’s What You’ll Learn

  1. Choose the account that fits your goal.
  2. Compare providers and open your account.
  3. Transfer your starting amount.
  4. Understand stocks, bonds, and ETFs.
  5. Make and confirm your first purchase.
  6. Build an investing habit that fits your budget.

I’ll also show you what I personally invest in and explain why. My example isn’t a recommendation to copy my portfolio.

Start Where You Are

In some cases, you can start investing with as little as $5. What matters is understanding what you’re doing and choosing an amount your budget can support.
