Ways to invest in the market

     I am pretty sure you have seen those advertisement on YouTube telling you how easy it is to invest in the stock market with less than $10,000 dollars blah blah blah. And yet you never pay much attention because you either thought it was a lie or you couldn’t wait to watch the videos of those guys who build and entire house with pool in the jungle with just a machete. I know you probably think is too good to be true, but what if I tell you that those advertisements are correct.

 When it comes to not needing so much money to start investing. There are so many applications you can start investing with just $10 dollars. That’s like buying a box of cereal and a gallon of milk, but instead of eating it you watch those $10 dollars grow overtime. Yes, I am one of those people that can eat the entire box of cereal in one sitting. But, well you get my point. I had the same concept about investing. That’s until a good friend of mine recommended me to download this app called Robinhood a free investing platform. So, I decide to try for myself and let me tell you it was one of the best decisions I have ever made.

The app is simple, you buy and sell stock commission free. That means you don’t pay any fees for buying a stock or selling. Other financial institutions used to charge you a fee for every time you want to buy or sell, and this can range from seven dollars to twenty-one dollars every call. Now there are many apps that are commission free that you can go ahead and open an account with. I chose Robinhood because the interface of the application is easy to navigate, and I believe most people who have the app would agree on that. Also, not too long ago Robinhood introduced fraction sharing.


 Now, you can buy a fraction of a share. For example, lets say you want to buy one share of amazon, but on 8/11/20 one share of amazon is currently trading at 3,151.23. Fraction sharing allows you to buy 1/10 of that amazon share until you reach to buy the whole stock. If you are a person that wants to have control of your portfolio making the decisions on which stock to buy or sell, then Robinhood would be a great app to start investing. But if you want less control on the actual stock that you buy or sell, then Acorns would be the product of choice.


 Not only does Acorns invest your money for you, they base it on your investment tolerance, but also invest your spare change when paying with your debit card or credit card. So Bye Bye piggy banks.

Acorns Portfolio diversification





If you are a person like me that uses a credit card to pay for everything then you should consider Acorns. I also have an account with them and just to use this service they charge $1 dollar a month. I like to encourage people to open an account anywhere they feel comfortable and just get started. Keep in mind that building wealth is a marathon, not a sprint. Discipline is the key ingredient to start building up your net worth.

“Take charge of your financial future. I believe investing small amount each month in the stock market will give you financial freedom in the later years of your life.”

What really impacts your credit score and how?

Image
  Well Your FICO credit score, reflects your credit report, that is what banks and other lenders use to determine how credit-worthy you are. If you have a high score, then you have access to better credit cards, insurance, and loan rates as well as other perks. FICO scores range between 300 and 850, and a “good” score is considered anything above 700. An “excellent” rate of 750 or higher will secure you the best interest rates on loans, while falling below 650 could mean higher interest rate. Carrying a balance on your credit card doesn’t increase your credit score. (sorry to bust your bubble) Over the years I have heard people say that the best way to build up your credit score is by carrying a balance.   As you can see, I also did listen to that advice and instead of accomplishing to get a better score I ended up losing money, my credit score got worse, and ended up with huge credit card debt….nice   Many people like me believe this myth to be true. But later, I und...

The Misconception About College Education

Image
  Have you heard people repeating over and over that you don’t need to go to college to be successful in life?  Well in this new era that is correct you don’t need a college degree to have a successful life. The internet has given people the power to become entrepreneurs and do things they really enjoy doing. For example, they can live stream online games with twitch and create a community of followers who enjoy watching you play. Then that’s when you can start monetizing what once was your hobby is now your full-time job and the best of all is that you enjoy doing it. We must realize society has changed in the last decade, what was seen impossible before, now we see it not being, so impossible anymore. We can achieve anything we want if we apply self-discipline and consistency in our life equation. I have friends and colleagues that argue that you don’t need to go to college to be successful. In fact, they are right, but not everyone can afford not to go to college. Many peop...
