IRA or stocks for dummies?
Me and my husband just got married. He has a real job but plays the stock market, puts money in his IRA, and knows alot about business. My talents are in other areas. Is there a book out there to bring me up to his level regarding financial moves? I hate feeling so stupid when it comes to this. He takes care of it all but I wouldn’t mind being more knowledgeable and having a say in what goes on.
Start with Personal Finance for Dummies.
You need to understand all areas of your finances first.So you can save more money to invest later after you have an emergency account.
About 3 months of wages in a money market account so you won’t have to cash out your IRA when the car breaks.
