Get Started Investing

The premise of $100 Challenge is simple: $100 invested each month at the market’s average return of 8% for 40 years is $350,000. Little steps over a long period can make a big difference. So in these episodes we share ways to save or earn an extra $100 each month that we can put towards our investing. In this episode we are passing the microphone over to the experts and sharing some of the best (and worst) expert advice we've come across. From discount burritos to monthly budgets and Dave Ramsey's 5 steps to build wealth, this episode has a little bit of everything. Have a money or investing question?

Are you good with money? It's a hard question to answer and naturally, we instantly start to compare ourselves to other people in our lives. But the question wasn't 'are we better than those around us' it was are we objectively good? Emma Edwards has written the book (literally) on being good with money. In this conversation we unpacked what being good with money means to her and how we can all take the next steps to get better (and hopefully ultimately, good) with money.
