💡 A Simple Guide for True Beginners in the U.S. Stock Market

Almost 30 years ago, just after college, a mentor encouraged me to open a brokerage account and invest in a low-cost mutual fund. That one step became my financial safety net—through job loss, emergencies, and life’s surprises.

Now, I’m paying it forward with this no-jargon beginner’s guide to investing—focused on index funds, ETFs, and long-term investing strategies anyone can follow.

🤖 Here’s Proof That Small Steps Work (ask your fav AI Chatbot)

If you had invested just $1,000 in a U.S. stock market index fund in 2010—and added $100 every month—you’d have about $49,841 today (based on the S&P 500’s ~10% average return).

👉 That’s the power of consistency: small steps, repeated over time, can create life-changing results.

📈 Inside you’ll learn how to:

• Understand essentials: stocks, ETFs, dividends, and compound interest
• Open your first U.S. brokerage account step by step
• Build wealth: start small, stay consistent, and let time do the heavy lifting
