EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW IN ONE PLACE
Investing is the only way to build wealth so you can retire and afford those pinch me, Iβm dreaming moments
Investing seems like something only rich people doβlike a secret club where everyone has the password but you. But hereβs the truth: investing is how you get rich! Itβs an open club, and anyone can joinβno password needed.
Itβs not hard; itβs just new. But it can be incredibly confusing to figure out where to start. Thatβs why I created Money with Amanda: Investing & Retirement so you can learn everything you need to know in ONE PLACE, in the best order.
MONEY WITH AMANDA: INVESTING & RETIREMENT
π₯ 120 bite-sized video lessons
Most people break up the modules and complete the course in under two weeks, but you can also power through it in a weekend (or even a day).
βοΈ The basics of investing: what it is, who should do it, when you can start
We start with the basics. Think of it as Investing 101. Youβll learn what it really means to invest, who should be investing (spoiler alert: itβs you), and when you can start investing that $$$.
π° The difference between saving & investing
Saving and investing are not the same thing. You cannot save your way to wealth, but you can invest your way to wealth, and Iβll explain how and why.
π₯ The difference between investment accounts
Roth IRA, HSA, 401kβ¦These terms feel confusing now, but by the end of the course, youβll know them like the back of your hand and be ready to manage your very own.
πΌ How to take advantage of your employer benefits
Learn the ins and outs of employer benefits packages and develop a plan to make sure youβre maximizing your benefits. After all, theyβre part of your total compensation package!
π What to buy and what to invest in
Get in, long-term investor. Weβre going shopping! Knowing what to buy is confusing, so I take the guesswork out, leaving you saying, βThatβs ALL I have to do?! Why did I wait to learn this?!β
π€ How to create passive income
Learn how to generate more money without having to take up a second full-time job.
π΄ Exactly how much money youβll need to retire
No more having to consult the Magic 8 Ball. Youβll end the course with an exact number to achieve the financial freedom you deserve.
BONUS

From the Wealthy Wolfe Pack: Meet Jen
Jen had her eye on the prize. She knew she needed to do something to retire her husband from his manufacturing job, she just didnβt know how. After finishing Money with Amanda in just three weeks, Jen is now on track to retire her husband 8 years sooner* than planned! She maxed out her Roth IRA in just six months, is taking her first vacation abroad, and monthly massages are part of her budget! *In the video, Jen says 5 years but emailed us to let us know itβs now 8 years!
Investing in the stock market and planning for retirement made easy
