Book Synopsis
A guide to investing basics by the author of Broke Millennial, for anyone who feels like they aren't ready (or rich enough) to get into the market
Millennials want to learn how to start investing. The problem is that most have no idea where to begin. There's a significant lack of information out there catering to the concerns of new millennial investors, such as:
* Should I invest while paying down student loans?
* How do I invest in a socially responsible way?
* What about robo-advisors and apps--are any of them any good?
* Where can I look online for investment advice?
In this second book in the Broke Millennial series, Erin Lowry answers those questions and delivers all of the investment basics in one easy-to-digest package. Tackling topics ranging from common terminology to how to handle your anxiety to retirement savings and even how to actually buy and sell a stock, this hands-on guide will help any investment newbie become a confident player in the market on their way to building wealth.
Review Quotes
A great intro for newbies to the terribly complicated financial world, mixed with personal advice on how to handle debt and emulate the mindset of the wealthy. A wonderful resource.

Erin is uniquely capable of making even the most difficult-to-understand financial concepts into something you actually want to talk about, and investing is no exception. If you are intimidated (or, frankly, bored) by the idea of investing, let Erin prove you wrong on both counts with this fantastic book.

Broke Millennial Takes On Investing is the beginning investing book you've been waiting for. Not only does she break down investing terms, but she also explains 'the why' in a way that will resonate with millennials and non-millennials alike. What most impressed me is Erin's ability to explain how to invest in a way that is easy to understand and implement. As a former preschool teacher turned financial educator, I can say that this book has all the hallmarks of a great, transformative read. If you're starting your investing journey, bring this book along with you.
