Description

Do you find the stock market intimidating?

Does the thought of losing your hard-earned money hold you back?

Do you think you don’t have enough time to dedicate to investing in the market?

You’re not alone! Approximately 40 percent of Americans shy away from investing in the stock market due to lack of knowledge, funds, or confidence. In this groundbreaking book, Ann Marie Sabath, a former wannabe investor turned diversified stock owner, shares her wealth of knowledge to empower you to enter the world of investing one step at a time.

Sabath’s writing style is refreshingly down-to-earth, making even the most intricate concepts easy to grasp. She shares the essential pre-investment steps, ensuring you have a solid foundation before buying your first share of stock. She explains the seven excuses people make for not investing, how to identify your risk tolerance level, the power of compounding, the one-hour-a-year investment strategy, and much more.

The Wannabe Investor isn’t just another dry investment book. It’s a transformative guide that reveals the strategies that self-made millionaires use to build wealth. Don’t let your hard-earned money languish in low-yield savings accounts or slow-growing bonds any longer. You will be ready to take control of your financial future after reading The Wannabe Investor.

A must-read for readers who wish they’d started investing sooner.

Ann Marie Sabath delivers 40 eye-opening, bite-sized strategies for building wealth—no jargon, no shame, no spreadsheets required. Perfect for those craving financial confidence without a finance degree.

Ideal for NetGalley reviewers who enjoyed The Psychology of Money or Atomic Habits.
