The economic hit of the coronavirus pandemic has left thousands of people unemployed or working fewer hours. It might seem insensitive to think about investing during an economic crisis, but if you have the means then it could be worth considering.
On Tuesday at 11 a.m., MPR News guest host Chris Farrell talks with two personal finance experts on the basics of investing: Is it safe to start now? What are the first steps? How do you know what is the best investment approach?
And we’ll also take your questions. This hour is specifically for people who are new to investing and don’t know where to begin, and for those who have started and want to expand their reach. Call in during the live conversation at 651-227-6000.
Guests:
Bola Sokunbi is a financial education instructor and author of Clever Girl Finance.
Tara Siegel Bernard is a personal finance reporter for The New York Times.
