Terms such as Stocks, ETFs, Index Funds, are commonly used and rarely defined – at least in a way that is easy to understand. On top of that, questions like: Where can I start? What should I invest in? and even, How will I be taxed?, create a huge barrier to entry for many people. We want to knock that barrier down. Our Friends with Tax Benefits have been there, and they’re sharing with you everything they know about investments, why it’s a good idea (ahem, retirement may seem a long way off, but you’ll be grateful you prepared for it) and even give insight into how they got started – three very different, yet totally doable, points of entry. Today’s episode is going to make sure common investment terms are defined and concepts will be broken down into simple terms. If you’re serious about getting into investing but don’t know where to start, start with today’s “So You’re Thinking About Investing?” episode of Friends with Tax Benefits. If you have a tax question for our resident tax expert, Kat, submit your question in the comments, and it could be answered in a future Friends with Tax Benefits episode!
