Are you eager to start investing but also worried that the stock market might crash soon? Let's see what happened if you started investing monthly right as the Tech Bubble burst. Or right before the Great Financial Crisis. If you are starting from zero but can make regular contributions to an investment portfolio, there’s almost no reason NOT to start investing. Right now.

In this video, we'll see why even starting a monthly contribution right before two of the worst stock market crashes in history began (The Tech Bubble and The Great Financial Crisis) led an investor to have a smooth and profitable investment experience. More importantly, we'll show you the true cost of delaying starting to invest by just two years - it could be worth an entire year's worth of salary down the road!
