Forget the idea that you don’t have enough money to invest. Because long gone are the days of our parents when you needed thousands of dollars to dip your toe in the water. Brand new platforms allow us to begin investing with as little as a few dollars and cents - it's called Micro-investing.

In this episode, we talk about the rise of micro-investing, and the way that it operates. We discuss the the benefits - including round-ups and automation, broad exposure and perfect confidence booster, and then the downsides as well - fees, your ability to beat the market, and the range of options on display.
