Investing for Beginners Bundle

You'd like to start investing, but where do you begin?

You've been doing a great job saving your money, but when it comes to investing, you feel overwhelmed. Oh, the possibilities. And the risks! But guess what? It doesn't have to be confusing. And you can start small, testing the waters to gauge your own reactions to the ups and downs of the market. The truth is, you don't need to familiarize yourself with all the jargon, and you don't need to lose part of your profits by using an advisor. Yes, this is something you can do on your own.

What are the costs of waiting?

If you're waiting for the perfect time to start investing, you'll be waiting forever. If you're sitting on the sidelines, you lose out on opportunities. Let's take a look at some real-life data.

SCENARIO: We have three women who have saved $100,000.

• Woman A keeps her money in a local savings account. She averages an annual rate of return of about 1%. After 10 years, she will have $111,046.
• Woman B deposits her money in a TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities) account and keeps it there for 10 years. The amount she earns is determined by the Consumer Price Index. As inflation rises, the value of her TIPS rises. Over a decade, inflation rises at approximately 3% per year. At this pace, Woman B will have $134,392 after 10 years.
• Woman C deposits her money in an index fund that tracks the stock market. It averages an annual return of 8%. After 10 years, her account will be worth $215,892.

Which woman do you want to be? A, B, or C? Woman A, our cash hoarder, is losing out to Woman B, who simply keeps up with inflation. And Woman A has about half of the funds that our investor, Woman C, can claim.
