#76: Why investing "late" in your 30s or 40s is the PERFECT time to invest as a nurse

Too Late to Start Investing as a Nurse? Why Your 30s & 40s Are the BEST Time

I’m Ellaine, a nurse practitioner and financial educator behind Nurse Who Invests, and I’m sharing why starting to invest in your 30s or 40s isn’t a financial disaster. I explain how I didn’t invest until I was almost 30, after spending my 20s traveling, leasing an expensive car, and accumulating about $10,000 in debt, and how online “start at 22” investing charts left me feeling guilty.
