Great interview Ashley. She is full of knowledge. I want to invest. Just not sure in what stocks
Hello Ashley I’m listening to the WB Beginner Investors Boot Camp #1 .I can’t get to the homework.
Will there be classes in Philadelphia for adults
Listening to Ashley was great. The things she talks about is where I am now. I am 62yrs. old, worked on my job for 32yrs., retired at 60, have been bankrupt, have large student loan debt, wanted to have nice clothes, cars, and thought I needed to be the talk of the town. My mindset at this point is to invest. I have a couple investment properties, and I also purchase stock through computershare, and funds in Vanguard. I was so excited listening to your message, and I’m proud to say tha5 this old dog is trying to do something different. I am so glad I ran across this podcast. Thsnks
