$1k won’t buy a nice BMW, Building Wealth, Investing, Retirement, Stock Trading, Freedom, Liberty, Applying History

Episode 89:  Today’s show answers listener questions about investing a small portfolio.  This is a follow up to Episode 16: Saving vs Investing. My philosophy is much different than most in the Investment Industry- I don’t think you should Invest until you’ve built a substantial Savings nest egg.  You should first learn to EARN (ie get a job or start a business), then SAVE, then INVEST. Put your effort into what has the most payoff- which in the beginning will be EARNING and SAVING.  The Investment Industry wants you to “invest” so that they can charge you fees.  The deck is stacked against people with small portfolios. Everyone asks me how to make a good $1k investment…but no one ever asks where they can buy a nice BMW with $1k.  Because they KNOW you can’t buy a nice BMW with a small sum of money…the same is true of investment opportunities.
