1. You don't need to be a finance major to understand the lingo.

There are investing apps out there that have made understanding financial buzzwords — and investing itself — more accessible than ever before (and some even do it without the investing jargon). 

2. You begin to understand that inconsistency is consistent.

You get that fluctuations in the market are normal and that starting small can help you find your footing long-term. 

3. You're learning to keep your eyes off the prize.

It's good to be informed but checking market trends to the paralysis? Not so much. When you think long-term and avoid impulsive decisions, you may garner some newfound inner peace. 

4. The potential benefits of "diversification" are becoming much clearer.

You've learned that spreading your money across different investments and stocks can help decrease that feeling of risk. 

5. You're putting your sleuthing skills to the test.

As a new investor, you may be conducting lots of research on prospective investments in order to understand some of the risks associated with them. Plus, it may feel good to invest in companies you're also passionate about rather than ones that appear "cool."

6. Budgeting is your BFF.

You know how important it is to understand what you can afford before you actually begin investing. It doesn't have to be much — just enough to get started. 

7. You're finally putting that spare change to good use.

You're repurposing money from places that you might not normally think of (see: unused gift cards, extra savings) and putting it toward investments. 

Keep in mind that investing involves risk. Investing in stocks, mutual funds, and ETFs involves risks, including the loss of principal. Diversification does not guarantee a profit or protect against loss. Plynk is free for the first 3 months, after which a $2 monthly subscription fee applies. 

Minimum $10 gift card balance required. Fees apply to use program which vary by vendor.

Plynk makes it easier and more comfortable to start investing, while allowing users to redeem things like unused gift cards for extra investment money to invest.
