How you invest at the start of your career is critical to your long term wealth. Invest a small amount now, or much much much more later. But, you also need to avoid unnecessary fees and taxes to make every cent count.

Relax. It’s easy to get started on the right track. We’ll show you how.

Just f*cking start

Rule # 1 of long term investing is to start. There is no rule # 2. No matter how much you have to invest, the greatest impact you will have on your returns is starting early.

Aggressively pursue the lowest fees

Percentage based fees are like parasites on your money. Never pay a percentage-based adviser fee and seek out the investments that charge the lowest management fees.

The unsung hero of the South African investor. There is no reason to invest anywhere else until you've maxed out your TFSA contributions. Over decades it is impossible to beat the value of tax-free returns.
