Did you ever ask yourself how to invest money? Are you a Young Professional and wonder how you should save and invest your money? Are you not sure if the stock market is worth it or if you should just save the money? In this video I give you an introduction into investing. I cover the investing 101, talking about why it is so important to save and invest and what my first investments were. I discuss common stock investing strategies such as buy & hold, market portfolio theory and a simple ETF market portfolio consisting of 70% MSCI World and 30% MSCI Emerging Markets. To get started, Exchange Traded Funds (ETF) are a very suitable financial instrument to use. I am also talking about common investing mistakes that Young Professionals make. This includes falling for the trap of lifestyle inflation, as well as the phenomenon of high income, low net worth. In the video, I explain why net worth is the most important metric to track in the personal finance sphere and how you can measure your net worth. I am discussing the most common financial mistakes of people in their 20s and 30s. You will also learn why it is important to start early when investing. Learn how to invest in stocks and other personal finance basics, especially relevant for Young Professional investment.
