It seems like an obvious question; you invest to make money right? But have you REALLY thought about why you should invest? In this episode Jamila and her cast of investment gurus give you more than the cliché "it's good for retirement" response. Instead, they've crunched the numbers, made detailed comparisons, and crosschecked the data to present you with an assessment of both the benefits and risks of investing. You’ll also hear from other investors who share how investing has impacted their life. So, if someone ever asks you if they should consider investing, just point them to this episode!
