Determine where you will invest

There are many different types of investments, and there are many factors that determine where you should invest your money. Of course, deciding where to invest starts with researching the different types of investments available, determining your risk tolerance and investment style, along with your financial goals.

If I were to buy a new car, I would do a lot of research before making the final decision and making the purchase. I would never consider purchasing a vehicle that I had not serviced and fully tested. Investing works in a very similar way.

Of course, you will learn as much as you can about investing and you will also want to see how previous investors have performed. It's common sense!

Investing works in a very similar way

Learning about the stock market and investing takes a lot of time... but it's time well spent. There are many books and websites on the subject, and you can also take college level courses on the subject, which is what stock brokers do. With access to the Internet, you can play the stock market (with fake money) to get an idea of how it works.

You can make fake investments and learn how to do it. Search any search engine for “stock market games” or “stock market simulator.” This is a great way to start learning how to invest in the stock market.

As for other types of investments - outside the stock market - there are no simulators. You have to learn about these types of investments the hard way: by reading.

As a potential investor, you should read everything you can get your hands on regarding investing... but start with beginner-friendly investing books and websites first. Otherwise, you will quickly discover that you are lost.

Finally, talk to a financial planner. Tell them your goals and ask for suggestions – they do! A good financial planner can easily help you decide where to invest your money and create a plan to achieve all your financial goals. Many of them will even teach you how to invest along the way; Make sure you pay attention to what they tell you!
