502 Inspiration Board: Investment education in teens. by Natasha Malik https://padlet.com/natsheraz/2vctii77y6ac635f Natasha Sheraz en-us 2021-05-15 02:09:05 UTC 2021-05-15 06:55:09 UTC hello@padlet.com natsheraz https://padlet.com/natsheraz/2vctii77y6ac635f/wish/1526616973 For this project, I would like to work on developing a framework for ensuring investment education in teens. I opted for this idea as I have always felt that there was no guidance provided on the process of investing, which is one of the most lucrative fields if a person starts early.

Learning the trade at an early stage can teach individuals valuable skills of wealth management and financial independence. Moreover, there’s constant innovation in fintech which makes it even more important to have a channel for educating younger individuals on different means of investing. 

I hope to utilize the technology tenet and create a framework for an online platform where individuals can learn the terminology and the process of investing.

The book covers topics on investing in the stock market and defines simple strategies for starting a portfolio of stocks along with valuable lessons on handling personal finances and investment knowledge for retirement plans. Having read this book, I found the content helpful towards building a solid foundation in investment. The biggest advantage is that it’s relatable for young audiences who are more receptive to information coming from one of their peers.
