How the book works
Chapters 1 to 12 teach the basics, from how the market works to staying calm in a crash. Chapters 13 to 20 help you set goals, build a cushion, and keep going. Each chapter takes about ten minutes, with one small thing to try and a short recap. This is education, not advice, and investing always carries risk.
