[kst$]

Well if you are like me your alittle nervous about starting something you know nothing about. and Investing being one of them.. I was reading alittle about how to get started in investing when I came across this site.

Mapping Your Route to Investing Success

What do you do before you get into your car and drive to a destination you've never visited before? Unless you have one of those newfangled GPS devices, you probably use the tried-and-true method of trip planning -- you consult a map.
Investing is a lot like driving. You need to set your financial goals, and then you need to map out a plan to achieve them. If you don't have goals, how will you ever know if you've arrived? And without a financial plan, you risk getting lost along the way, and never meeting your objectives.

I hope that this helps all us scaredie cats feel alittle better about jumping in there and getting our feet wet in the world of investing. Because if you think about it we are investing in our future as well as our childres.
