I am looking to try it but have no clue what i'm doing. Is it simple to use?

I'm not sure what wealthsimple is, but I'm confused as to why people want to self-invest. Like do you have a strong grasp of the stock market and is it something you want to keep on top of consistently? If not I always recommend just investing in a managed Vanguard fund. I've done this for years and you can select your level of risk etc. to suit your life position.

I have never heard of it. What are some of the benefits of using it? My goal is to become more sufficient with my money this year.

Additional Posts in Student Loans

Has anyone refinanced their student loans on h1b visa? Is common bond the only option?

Curious to know how much your student loans were when you graduated from your program, how much you’ve paid off so far, and your age. If you have any varying factors too, like kids, income range, etc. Just trying to see if I’m on track or slacking in life. I am 34 yo, i graduated with 95k in student loans, i currently have 85k left and i make 85k in come. I’m also a single mom with two kids. Just praying for 100% student loans forgiveness. Wishful thinking???
