The $100 Start: Your First 90 Days Investing Roadmap

You know you should be investing. You've heard about compound interest, you've seen the charts showing what happens when you start early versus late, and you've probably told yourself "I'll start when I have more money" or "I'll figure it out when things settle down." But here's the truth: the biggest barrier isn't your bank account or your knowledge—it's just starting. This workbook is for anyone who's tired of sitting on the sidelines while time—the most powerful variable in investing—slips away. Whether you have $50 or $500 to start with, this isn't about picking the perfect stock or timing the market. It's about building the habits, clearing the mental blocks, and taking the concrete steps that turn "someday" into this month. Inside, you'll work through six hands-on exercises designed to get you from zero to invested in 90 days. You'll identify what's actually holding you back, calculate your real starting number, choose your first investment vehicle without analysis paralysis, automate your contributions so you never have to think about it again, and build a simple plan to handle market drops without panic-selling. Each exercise includes a clear prompt, real examples, and the most common mistakes beginners make (so you can skip them). Jessica Inskip is the Director of Investor Research at StockBrokers.com and has spent years breaking down investing myths and making the stock market accessible to people who think it's not for them. This workbook distills that expertise into a step-by-step system that meets you where you are—no jargon, no shame, just the clarity you need to finally start building wealth.
