Equity Mates Media
About this episode

"I don’t have enough money to invest.” We hear this a LOT. It’s a common misconception that to be an investor, you have to be earning a high income or have a chunk of spare cash, but that’s not true at all. 


In this episode we teach you how to get started investing on any budget.


We cover: 

  • Understanding the minimum investments to get started
  • Starting with microinvesting (and what that is)
  • Minimum investments at the major investment platforms (4 microinvesting apps and 8 broker platforms)
  • Why small investments can grow into big goals 
  • The dirty little secret of choosing a broker
