About this lesson
Spending buys the apple. Investing buys the tree. Kids grow up fluent in one relationship with business: money out, stuff in. This week they meet the other one. A share is a real slice of a real company. Real investing is boring on purpose.
What you’ll learn
- You can own a slice of companies you already love.
- An asset can pay you while you do something else.
- Split incoming money: some to spend, some to own.
- A broad fund owns hundreds of helpers so you do not have to pick the winner.
