Investment Questions You're Probably Asking

These are the real questions we hear from people who are serious about building wealth but don't know where to start.

How much money do I need to start investing seriously?

You can start building wealth with as little as 0 per month. The key is consistency, not the initial amount. Many brokerages now offer fractional shares, so you can own pieces of expensive stocks like Amazon or Google without needing thousands upfront. What matters most is developing the habit of regular investing and letting compound interest work over time.

Should I pay off debt before investing?

It depends on the interest rates. High-interest debt like credit cards (typically 18-25% APR) should be eliminated first since it's nearly impossible to earn those returns consistently in the market. However, low-interest debt like mortgages or student loans below 6% can often be managed alongside investing, especially if you have employer 401k matching.

What's the difference between active and passive investing?

Active investing involves frequently buying and selling stocks, trying to time the market or pick winners. Passive investing means buying broad market index funds and holding them long-term. Studies consistently show that passive strategies outperform active ones for 90% of investors over 15+ year periods, while requiring much less time and generating lower fees.

How do I know if I'm diversified enough?

True diversification goes beyond just owning multiple stocks. You want exposure across different asset classes (stocks, bonds, real estate), company sizes (large, mid, small cap), geographic regions (US, international, emerging markets), and sectors (tech, healthcare, consumer goods). A simple three-fund portfolio can achieve excellent diversification with minimal complexity.

When should I rebalance my portfolio?

Rebalancing isn't about timing the market – it's about maintaining your target allocation. Most successful investors rebalance annually or when any asset class drifts more than 5-10% from its target percentage. This forces you to sell high-performing assets and buy underperforming ones, which is psychologically difficult but mathematically sound.

Learn From Someone Who's Been There
