Investing 101 – Building a Strong Financial Foundation

Have you been wondering if investing is a good use of your money? Do you know what steps to take to begin? Do you listen to financial conversations feeling slightly lost? Do you know the basics of investing and why they matter for your long-term success?

Join Makenna of Journey Financial Services as she brings back the basics of investing – breaking it down with financial terms in plain language and easy to follow guidelines so you can approach the investing world confidently.

Takeaways

  • Start early — time and compound growth can have a bigger impact than the amount invested.
  • Focus on time in the market, not timing the market. Long-term investing historically performs better.
  • Diversification matters — spreading investments across assets can help reduce risk.
  • Understand what you own, how it works, and how it affects taxes and long-term goals.
  • Consistency wins — regular investing through strategies like dollar-cost averaging can build wealth over time.
