Career & Finance: Investing

Why do you want to do this?

I have always wanted to invest, I just never feel confident and am unsure of what is the best option for me. I want to be able to see returns with smart investing, but it seems I am very risk averse. I know there are smart options out there I just need to take the time to learn.

What three things will you need to make this happen?

Speak with someone who understands investing. Someone trustworthy.

Saving up the money to invest.

Patience!

What is the biggest barrier to your achieving this?

I am nervous about investing and am worried I won't make a good investment. UPDATE: I looked into investing and I think it may be too risky for me, especially being a recent grad with very little money to spare, what I am thinking now is to put my money in a savings account or buying a canadian bond-we shall see.
