Quick Answers to Common Questions
Should I pay off debt or invest?
Generally, pay off high-interest debt (>7%) first. Consider investing while paying low-interest debt like mortgages.
How much emergency fund do I need?
Aim for 3-6 months of expenses before investing. This protects you from having to sell investments at a loss.
What's the minimum to start investing?
You can start with as little as $1 on some platforms. Start small and increase as you learn and earn more.
