rambling. Let's get to the episode. Welcome back to another episode of the Personal Finance

Redefined podcast. Today's episode is a little bit of a mailbag episode. What I mean by that is just frequently asked questions that I get a lot about investing as a whole. So that's the framework we're going to go through today. As a reminder, I am on YouTube. If you are enjoying this podcast, that's awesome. If you say, hey, you know what, I would like a little bit more visuals and something to follow along with on there as well.

You can always check that out. I'm going to be having the podcast on there in addition to new content.

So love the support if you're able to provide it there. Thank you all so much. It's been awesome little community and we'll keep this going.

Let's start with this. So one of the things with investing is it's so easy. And that's one

of the things when I look at any investment is what is the time and what is the effort involved?

Maybe that, you know what, you find, you know what, this is the right property, and I'm going to hire a property manager, and I'm going to do all of these things, and all of a sudden, you're able to get 14, 15, 16% per year. You might say that's just great. But what I would look at and urge you to look at is,

is that something you enjoy doing? If the answer is yes, great. Maybe continue that. Maybe have it

be in addition to your other investments. But what I want to look at in the framework that I

transparently look at is I look at what is the time and effort involved. Maybe I'm not able to get

14, 15, 16%, but I can get 8 or 9 or 10%, and I don't have to do any work at all. That's when I like

to look at investing. So not our right or wrong, but the easiness and really just, you know, investing in the

stock market is that back in the day day used to have to go to a broker
