293: [MONEY] Back to Basics: The Best Investments for Long-Term Success

Now that we’ve covered the importance of investing, types of retirement accounts, and the difference between Traditional and Roth, we’re moving on to discuss what to actually buy inside these accounts. What should you be investing in? How do you choose your investments? Sarah is here to teach us about index funds, how to interpret expense ratios, and the difference between dollar cost averaging and lump sum investing.  If these terms are foreign to you or sound overwhelming, do not fear! Today’s episode is all about breaking down investing into manageable, easy to understand steps that you can start implementing today.  Sarah is a personal finance nerd who learned about finances and investing from an early age from her father and grandfather, who both spent their careers in the corporate finance world. As an adult, Sarah immersed herself in the personal finance and FIRE spheres, learning from top experts. Sarah is my personal go-to for all financial questions, and she’s here to share her knowledge with all of you!
