In this episode of DIY Money, we wrap up our investing series by diving into one of the most common questions we hear: "Should I buy individual stocks?" 👀 Whether you’re a parent helping your kid open their first account or a curious investor wanting to go beyond index funds, we’ve got you covered.
Here's what we cover 👇
🧠 Mindset first: Why buying stocks means owning businesses — not just playing tickers
🧒 For beginners: How young investors can start with what they know and build confidence
📊 Building your system: Understanding value vs. growth, fundamentals vs. technicals
⚖️ Diversification matters: Avoiding concentrated risk, even in stocks you love
📉 Be ready to be wrong: Lessons on humility and having an exit strategy
This episode is all about empowering thoughtful, long-term investors. We won’t tell you what to buy — but we will help you think more clearly about how to approach stock investing within a smart financial plan.
And remember, the secret to wealth is pretty simple: live on less than you make, invest the rest, and do so for a very long time. Make it a great one!
