Are you new to Investing?

Is it truly safe to invest, and what about your non-financial resources such as time and energy? Investing is not just about money. In The First Time Investor, Bruce Walker reveals smart investment moves that you can make whether you're a 20-something millennial or a professional who is nearing retirement. It's not just a book about managing your finances - The First Time Investor is a blueprint for proactive people who want to make the most of their health, emotional well-being, and personal relationships.

In this book, you will discover:

  • The meaning of key financial terms, such as "bond", "index fund", and "diversification"

Beyond basic

This is written for High School kids. Forget it if you have any life experience. Barely discussed investing, let alone any strategy. Someone found a passive income writing this book.

Invest in your life

This book is the most amazing investing guide which is not just about making money which we believe is the key to happiness, but not happiness is the presence of everything important of your life altogether, like health, wealth, relationships, and what you are doing for your daily life. Young Ryan Sitzberger narrated it nicely for our ear to concentrate on the words entirely. Recommended.

A Financial Advisor's Review

Gave this to a client who wanted to be more knowledgeable about basic investing. She spent the weekend working through the book, and called to say it's the best book she's ever read/listen.

A Real Help For Understanding How It all Works

This book helped me to learn about the rules of investing and has given me a framework to move forward. It will change the way I invest forever.
It's really easy to understand and fun to listen. Filled with really educational slides that I will never forget and helps me get the big picture. Really great!

This book is phenemonal !

Two thumbs up! Finding an investment book that actually makes sense to me is a rarity. This might actually be the first that actually helps me make money. I would recommend it to any investor, not just the neophytes. It is written in an easy-to-listen fashion, but is jam packed with information that anyone can use. This is the best book I've read all year. Buy it. Listen it. Use it.

Excellent Source for anyone...

This is an excellent book written in a way that is simple to understand and yet very effective and useful in its content for anyone who's beginning to invest for their retirement. And shouldn't we all start somewhere, sometime to do that for ourselves? I highly recommend this book.
