MONEY MOVE OF THE WEEK

AUTOMATE YOUR INVESTING.

If youā€™re looking to start investing or to invest more consistently, automating those investments is the place to start.

Determine how much money and with what frequency youā€™d like to invest. No amount is too small, and you can always modify the amount as your financial situation changes.

Navigate to the platform of the company where youā€™d like to invest. I personally use Vanguard. (This is not sponsored content or advice!).

Visit the platformā€™s ā€œautomatic investmentsā€ page and select the account you want to invest into. If youā€™re not sure where to start, do some research on mutual funds that feel right for you. Itā€™s important to look at the expense ratio and what the fund is invested in. You can also see how it stacks up with ESG (Environmental, Social and Governance) factors. Again, donā€™t be paralyzed by indecision - itā€™s always better to take action!
