This is a different post than wha tI usually do because I want to try something new and write about it.

I started using an App called Robinhood.com to invest, if you would like use this link to sign up https://join.robinhood.com/josephm8149.

First, I am not a finance person at all and so I apologize for using lingo that is not correct with that profession. I am going to use what I started calling things that made sense to me.





I first started investing in Robinhood doing what I called equity investing. I call it that because the only thing I was focused on was growing equity in stocks andselling when they grew. I also started with peenny stocks because I was trying things out. I started with $25 and ended with $1000.

A really cool thing about robinhood is that there is no minimal balance to start investing.

After doing that for about 7 months I realized I didn't have enough capital or enough time to do this, so I switched my approached. This is also around the time I discovers the F.I.R.E movement, which is Financial Independence Retire Early.

I switched to a dividend investing strategy that way once I buy the stock I leave it and will see the dividends sooner than if I sold the stock. right now I have been doing this for about 8 months and am making about $400 a year off of dividends I hope to grow this in the future to more and this has allowed me to pay less attention to the stocks while receiving something tangible sooner than selling the stock.

Everyone has a different amount of time and capital and I feel Robinhood gives the freedom to do as much as you want and to explore different investing strategies.
