Now what? You’re not a beginner anymore, but you’re not a trader either. You’ve been investing for a while, and you understand the fundamentals—what comes next? Is it time to get more complicated, or just set and forget?

In this episode of the Wealth Kick, we explore a new money problem: the question of how to progress your investing. We’re talking about research and risks, consistency vs. curiosity—and whether you should be getting hands-on or staying at arm’s length.

Financial advisor Ed Glennie, Ruth Henderson from The Happy Saver, and Sharesies co-CEO Brooke Roberts give us their takes on what it means to be a more “advanced” investor.

This is the sixth episode of the Wealth Kick, a limited series to change your perspective on money for the new year. Until the end of January, we’re serving up a little financial soul-searching, easy exercises you can use anywhere, and a few wacky stories.
