Episode #5 - How to get Started Investing

“It’s kinda like why, how and what. Why are you investing? How are you going to invest? Then, what are you going to invest in? It’s a three step process.” - Rockie Zeigler III, CFP®, of RP Zeigler Investment Services, Inc.

In episode 5, we're talking about how to get started investing. From the time you’re in high school, everyone tells you to start saving early and often, but they never tell you how.

Rockie Zeigler III, CFP® from RP Zeigler Investment Services, and Kyle discuss reasons why most people invest, different options for investing, and four typical investments that you can invest in. To kick it off, we talk about our favorite scary movies, our best advice for investing, and Kyle’s favorite college drinking game. Tune in!

"Don’t invest in anything you don’t understand." Kyle Hill, CFP®
