Micro-Investing

Investing is not about buying stocks. Investing is using $1.00 to make $2.00. It is about spending five minutes one day so you have have 10 extra minutes the next day. You don't need $1000 to start investing. Take $5 and buy something that will save you $10.

If you have MONEY to invest, look at the ROI. If you have TIME to invest, look at the Hourly Wage.

Return on Investment ($$$)

Selling vintage patterns on Ebay- 827% 
Making Yogurt- 338%*
​​Growing Garlic- 338%
Using Cloth Napkins- 173% 
My first year selling baked goods- 74%*
