Klappentext

Take control of your future and get financially free! It's time to talk about freedom: Being free to make your own choices and to say yes when you want to, instead of when you have to. Friends That Invest outlines, step by step, how you can achieve security and real independence by investing in shares (aka stocks). It's about making your money work for you. Because investing should be for everyone. That's why, in this updated edition, we're inviting all our friends from around the world to join our investie bestie community. If you want to build a better financial future for yourself, your family and your people, this is the book for you. And in my new chapter on how to invest your first $1000, you'll find everything you need to get started. I didn't start out in the world of investing. I had to learn it. And you can too. This book will walk you through the strategies we were never taught, unpack the jargon we never learned and show you how to grow a stock market portfolio like a professional. Generational wealth starts with you. So let's begin - together.
