How I Started Investing In My 20s

Hello Jewells! In today’s blog post I want to talk about how I started investing in my 20s and how you can too!

How I started investing in my 20's.jpg

A couple years ago I put half of my savings in a market security with the intention of buying a bond. Unfortunately, I never got around to figuring out how to actually buy a bond so the money sat in that account for YEARS earning me nothing.

However, when I found the app Robinhood, I learned how to start investing in stocks!

I love this app because it is easy to learn and understand! You can add however much money you want. It is super easy to search and purchase stocks.

In March when the market began to crash, I sold all of my stocks. I regret this decision. However, in June I bought back some of the stocks I used to have.

My favorite stock has been my Tesla stock. It has earned me $400 in two weeks! Of course, trading in the stock market is always a gamble, so I did not know my tesla stock would do that great, however, I am glad I bought it.

There are all types of ways to research stocks to guide you on what to buy.

If you want to start investing in your 20s, Robinhood offers us both a free stock if you use my link! This is not sponsored, Robinhood will even let you invite friends to the app to get yourself even more free stocks!

Investing is a great way to acquire long-term wealth. Getting started early is crucial! I love checking my stocks and seeing that I have made passive income just from my investments.

Here is a screenshot of my Tesla stock on July 6,2020.
