So YouTube, their websites, they put so much information out online.

So find the good investors and the ones who are honest about their successes and their failures, because you can learn just as much from the failures.

And actually learn as much as you can from them and maybe take some investing courses.

Make sure they're independent as much as they can be so they're not trying to spruik you a particular small cap.

So I guess learn as much as you can.

I think Owen's saying an hour a day is a good place to start.

Yeah.

Are you going to put the time in to learn how to manage your money properly?

That's right.

Yeah.

Paying off your consumer debts first is important.

Who knows, one of your uni mates or your colleagues at work might be a secret share investor and they might have some tips for you and help you get started.

And read a variety of sources to make sure you've sort of validated whatever fact from multiple sources just before you make any decisions because everyone's got an agenda.

Everyone's pushing something.

Everyone's writing something for some reason.

So it's important to know.

Yeah, and then you can also pay for a sort of a full service broker.

So that'll charge you lots of money, but that'll tell you what to buy, what to sell and take a clip from all the brokerage as well.

Yeah, so there's some independent research providers who will explain why they're buying or why they're selling particular stocks and they'll charge you an annual fee or a monthly fee and they'll provide you independent information.

So they'll often say, oh, Morningstar rated this share by X amount or something like that or different research providers.
