Index Investing and You

Investing can be a tricky subject for many with all the noise out there on what’s stock hot or which mutual is about to rebound.

When I was putting together this episode my goal was to give you a few principles and resources that could get you set up with retirement investing even if you didn’t have a lot of money start off with.

During the interview Mike goes over a few essentials on investing, including:

• advantages of index funds
• what asset allocation is
• when robo-advisors can be helpful
• what to do when your 401(k) doesn’t offer index funds

Hope you enjoy!
