Money to spend!! Investing education
So
Got a bit of cash sitting around and am thinking its time to plan for the future to make sure I can have the rock star retirement lifestyle.
I've already got suckered into one of these IFA 20 year mutual fund things (luckily, I think, its a small amount of money each month, so not too too worried about it), bought some property, bought some shares, ibonds and the bank relationship manager has sold me some other products (again not too much money spent on these).
Thing is where can I read up and learn more about investing. I guess I want to get my money to do a bit more than it is. I seem to be doing OK and do have some spare cash to invest? But in what is the big question? I could go back to the IFA chappy or the bank relationship manager but I presume they will try and push whatever product they get the biggest commission on.
Therefore I think I need to read up and learn more about how and where to invest and basically do it myself. I know there is a wealth of information out there, probably too much as I do feel a bit overwhelmed, also I have no idea where to start.
Not asking for investment advice (although that would be nice!) but more trying to ask where I can start learning and reading up on it.
Any thoughts, suggestions, ideas????
