Six ideas that do most of the work
You do not need to be an expert. Get these few ideas right and you are ahead of most people.
Investing is putting money to work
Instead of sitting still, your money buys things that tend to grow in value or pay you income over time.
Time is your biggest advantage
When your gains start earning their own gains, growth speeds up the longer you stay in. Try it on the calculator.
Higher returns mean bigger swings
Nothing grows fast without risk. Cash is calm but slow. Stocks grow more but drop hard in bad years. See the swings for yourself.
Do not put it all in one place
Spreading money across different assets means one bad year does less damage. This is called diversification.
Slow and steady wins
Adding a little regularly and leaving it invested usually beats jumping in and out trying to time the market.
Only invest what you can leave
Keep an emergency cushion in cash. Invest money you will not need soon, so you are never forced to sell at a bad time.
See it for yourself
Simple tools that turn the ideas above into numbers you can play with. More sections are on the way.
