Getting Started Investing: Index Funds

Quick weekend update: Poorer Than You is hosting a giveaway for a laptop + netbook combo. The requirement for entry is to “create a piece of multimedia that embodies a sound personal finance concept” (hopefully one particularly relevant to young people).

I created a video explaining (what else?) the benefits of investing via index funds. The content will be nothing new to regular readers here, but I thought I’d share it in case anybody wanted to take a look.

Hope you’re all enjoying your Friday evening.
