The idea of using money you already have to make even more is an attractive prospect. But all the jargon and the amount of risk involved also make it very intimidating.
James Beckett, known as @moneystocker joins Jamilla Blake to tell us all about investing: what it is, why he does it and how easy it is to get started.
He gives us simple definitions of technical terms (such as stocks, shares, bonds and dividends) and takes us through the different ways you can invest your money (such as ISAs, crypto, property and index funds).
He also stresses the importance of setting specific goals and doing your own research – and discusses how best to use AI to do this.
And stick around to see Tom Heath and another quick-fire quiz round!
