For our last workshop for Adulting 101, we met with Mariel of Money for Mujeres. Mariel first led us through an introduction on investing. Specifically, what is investing and why is it different than saving. Our young adults learned the different types of investments; Stocks, Index Funds and Bonds. They learned which type would be best to start building wealth. They also learned the different types of IRA’s and which are best for your income and investing habits.
After Investing 101, the young adults opened up their accounts! We had two young adults successfuly open up their Roth IRA and started to invest. Thank you Mariel for teaching our young adults the importance of investing and helping them build their wealth!
