Investing Basics

Investing is how you grow wealth over time. It’s about making your money work for you — not about “getting rich quick.” Starting early, even with small amounts, can make a big difference.

Ways to Start

  • Enroll for 401(k) or 403(b) accounts through your job especially if there’s a match.

  • Traditional or Roth accounts for tax-advantaged growth

  • Diversified, affordable investments

  • Automated investing for beginners.
