Erin joins me today to offer insights on investing and why it is vital to invest as soon as possible. She shares how freelance and contract workers should prepare for times without a steady income as well as have open conversations with their partners. She reveals the different ways you can begin investing and the benefits of Exchange Traded Funds (ETFs), social investing, and diversification. She also highlights why it is essential to learn the financial language and shop around for financial advisors and financial services.
“Investing is one of the best ways of building wealth, especially if you have the advantage of time.” - Erin Lowry
