How should you invest your money?

If you don't invest wisely, it will be hard to fund your future.

There are always new areas you can put your money into, but are they worthwhile long-term?

In my latest podcast episode, I look at all the possible areas to invest your money and fit them into 4 categories: gambling, speculating, saving, and investing.

  • How to be confident you are investing effectively.
