Episode #7 - How to get your money Invested

Once you buy, you’ve gotta be ready for the ups and downs, and set your expectations. - Betty Wang, CFP® of BW Financial Planning

In episode 7, we're talking about how to get your money invested. In our previous episodes we broke down the different types of investments and how they’re different… But now, how do you turn your money into an investment?

Betty Wang, CFP® from BW Financial Planning, and Kyle discuss how to get your money invested in 3 easy steps. First you have to decide if you’re going to do-it-yourself, go with a robo advisor, or hire a financial advisor. We discuss things to consider when weighing those options. 

Per the usual, they kick it off with some fluff about Star Wars, Kyle’s clogs, and classic 80s tv shows. You’re going to love Betty’s walk up song… and you probably won’t know Kyle’s.

Tune in!

"You have to ask yourself, what are you comfortable with (when it comes to investing)?" Kyle Hill, CFP®
