Why are Millennials scared of investing?

Too difficult? 

Many people think that investing is too hard. But NEWS FLASH there is a magical thing called the "internet" that have a vast amount of information to sift through! But alas a majority of the millennials do not like to search for more than several nano seconds for some information. 

Scamy Mc. Scamer

We all know of at least one person who is always onto the next "BIG" thing. That always flaunts their wealth and hits you up every 6 months on a "Business adventure of a lifetime". If you don't know any of these people your'e very fortunate. In my experience I will politely let them know I am not interested and that I just don't think I am the right fit for the "Product" they are trying to sell me. 

Stocks are to difficult to understand!

THIS is very untrue. There are many stocks that are considered "safe" or even "low risk" and again just like everything else you have to enjoy or want to learn about something and see a potential that it can improve your life in order for you to want to understand it. Stocks by nature are very scary if you think about day trading. A majority of day traders in the long run are not profitable. But to buy and hold and have a "escape plan" is the smartest and one of the safest ways to invest. 

Just several late night/ early morning thoughts!

Day #8 Holding Off for the Long run! Investing in phones...

Well I am sure whoever is into having a smart phone realizes what Verizon did today. They are trying to get everyone to sign onto a new contract that will get rid of "Unlimited Data Plans". But there IS some hope, as long as you don't sign a new contract and buy a phone NOT through Verizon you can keep your Unlimited plan.
     Sounds great right? WRONG.... because this means if you want a new phone you have to buy it at Retail price. Which now and days is around 600 dollars...oh yea that's a great deal. But in this day in age we have things like Ebay that can help us out with some decent phones and can save us money. For now I will stick with my Droid Bionic.. I mean ICS is supposed to come out soon anyways that will give me a even more options to mess with it even more! For now I am investing in my phone for at least a couple more years.... hopefully lol.

Microsoft Credentials, Coaching Certification.

I looked up some Microsoft Credentials and they looked pretty interesting. some have to deal with Helping people with technical Problems with their computer so that looked cool. Others were just about how to maintain a database. Like making information travel through a main frame efficiently and things like that. I might have to look into this a little more and see what Certifications I need in order to snag a job in that field and see If I like it or not.

Another thing I have to look into is a certification in a Olympic Weightlifting/ personal trainer. It would look better and is kinda required for my job that I have now. So I think that will benefit me in the future regardless. Should be interesting the things that suck about these things I have to get is that they cost a lot of money. Got to spend money to make money i suppose!
