Learning how to invest to save for retirement has never been easier
If your head spins whenever you hear the terms Roth IRA, 401k, dividends, or index funds - then look no further! This course takes the complexity out of investing and breaks it down into ridiculously easy actionable steps you need to build your wealth and plan for retirement! If you can order food on DoorDash, then you’ll be able to invest. And I’m going to show you how.

Investing is the only way to build wealth so you can retire and afford those pinch me, I’m dreaming-moments
Investing seems like something only rich people do—like a secret club where everyone has the password but you. But here’s the truth: investing is how you get rich! It’s an open club, and anyone can join—no password needed.
It’s not hard; it’s just new. But it can be incredibly confusing to figure out where to start. That’s why I created Money with Amanda: Investing & Retirement so you can learn everything you need to know in ONE PLACE, in the best order.
Here’s a small sample of the GOLD in this course:
🎥 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).
☑️ 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. You’ll learn what it really means to invest, who should be investing (spoiler alert: it’s you), and when you can start investing that $$$.
💰 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 I’ll explain how and why.
🥇 The difference between investment accounts
Roth IRA, HSA, 401k…These terms feel confusing now, but by the end of the course, you’ll know them like the back of your hand and be ready to manage your very own.
💼 How to take advantage of your employer benefits
Learn the ins and outs of employer benefits packages and develop a plan to make sure you’re maximizing your benefits. After all, they’re part of your total compensation package!
💎 What to buy and what to invest in
Get in, long-term investor. We’re going shopping! Knowing what to buy is confusing, so I take the guesswork out, leaving you saying, “That’s ALL I have to do?! Why did I wait to learn this?!”
💤 How to create passive income
Learn how to generate more money without having to take up a second full-time job.
🌴 Exactly how much money you’ll need to retire
No more having to consult the Magic 8 Ball. You’ll end the course with an exact number to achieve the financial freedom you deserve.
BONUS
Financial Independence Workbook
You’ll use this custom-made Financial Independence Workbook to track your net worth over the years, how to budget and save for retirement, and visually see how close you are to becoming financially independent!

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 didn’t 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 it’s now 8 years!
Investing in the stock market and planning for retirement made easy
