People often find reasons to put it off, to do it another time. Why not right now?<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>We want to help you kickstart your investing, so we have a few different challenges that you could choose to do just that!<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>1. $5 Daily Challenge<\/h3>\n<p>For one whole month, invest $5 every day. By the end of the month, you could have invested $150 from making small changes. It could funded by a coffee skipped, a muffin, even one short transport ride swapped for a walk on a nice day. You could setup a daily recurring amount of $5 in the Raiz app and see the investments automatically take place each day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>2. Stepvember<\/h3>\n<p>Here\u2019s how it works. On the 1<sup>st<\/sup> of the month, you could make a One-Time Investment of $5. Then on the 2<sup>nd<\/sup> of the month invest $6, on the 3<sup>rd\u00a0 <\/sup>invest $7, and so on.<\/p>\n<p>Doing this could see you investing $585 during a 30 day month, meaning you may really be setup for some spending money \ud83d\ude0e.\u00a0 This is a bit more time intensive and cash intensive than the $5 daily challenge, as it involves you making a One-Time investment each day, but it could be well worth it if you make it to the end of the month.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>3. Choose your investing adventure<\/h3>\n<p>Pick four amounts &#8211; <strong>e.g. $5, $10, $20, $50<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Each day, invest one of your chosen amounts, making sure that you invest each amount at least once by the end of the month. By the end of a 30 day month, the least you could have invested using this approach is $215, and the most you could have invested is $1,500 \ud83d\udc40<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Build healthy habits<\/h3>\n<p>Because Raiz does not charge brokerage or transaction costs, we think these are a great way to try and develop a routine of frequent investing.\u00a0 You can try these approaches in any month. Chat to your friends and see which one they plan on trying, or come up with your own! We just want to give you the extra motivation to consider prioritising your saving and investing habits now, rather than later \ud83d\ude09 Find what investing philosophy works for you, and stick with it!\u00a0 Discipline to an investing strategy is also one of the keys we believe to successful investing.<\/p>\n<p>To see Raiz Invest fees, click <a href=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/fees\/\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">here<\/span><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Please read the <a href=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/product-disclosure-statement\/\"><u>PDS<\/u><\/a> to decide if Raiz Invest is suitable for you.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Don\u2019t have the Raiz App?<\/h3>\n<p>Download it for free in the App store or the Webapp below:<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_3372\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\">\n<figure id=\"attachment_3372\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3372\" style=\"width: 351px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/gettheapp\"><img class=\"wp-image-3372 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png\" sizes=\"(max-width: 351px) 100vw, 351px\" srcset=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app.png 351w, https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/investors\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/08\/download-app-320x77.png 320w\" alt=\"download-raiz-app\" width=\"351\" height=\"84\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-3372\" class=\"wp-caption-text\"><a href=\"https:\/\/raizinvest.com.au\/gettheapp\">Click to download the Raiz app<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/figure>\n<p><strong><em>Important Information<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>If you have read all or any part of our email, website, or communication then you need to know that this is factual information and general advice only.

If you are an investor, you should consult a licensed adviser before acting on any information to fully understand the benefits and risk associated with the product. This is your call but that is what you should do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>You may be surprised to learn that RAIZ Invest Australia Limited (ABN 26 604 402 815) (Raiz), an authorised representative AFSL 434776 prepared this information.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>We are not allowed, and have not prepared this information to offer financial product advice or a recommendation in relation to any investments or securities.

If you don\u2019t read the PDS, it\u2019s a bit like flying blind. Probably not a good idea.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The risks and fees for investing are fully set out in the PDS and include the risks that would ordinarily apply to investing. You should note, as illustrated by the global financial crisis of 2008, that sometimes\u00a0 not even professionals in the financial services sector understand the ordinary risks of investing \u2013 because by their nature many risks are unknown \u2013 but you still need to give it a go and try to understand the risks set out in the PDS.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Any returns shown or implied are not forecasts and are not reliable guides or predictors of future performance.
