How old are you?

I'm very knowledgeable–ask me anything! I know it all from derivatives to equities!

I know enough to keep my personal finances intact but I know there is plenty more to learn

I'm somewhat knowledgeable but still not totally sure where to start

Investing overwhelms me; I tend to avoid investing entirely

Honestly, I don't care for it! I just know its important but that's all I know

When it comes to investing and financial knowledge, where would say you land?

I work a full-time job, things are steady and I have projects on the way!

I work part-time(s) and or have an internship, I have an income but its either time-consuming, not much, or temporary.

I'm a student, no income studying but I am exploring the opportunities my school gives me!

In this market? Please unemployment is the way!

Investing only gets easier if you have that other income. Select however many that apply to you!

Yes–I'm on top of my daily or weekly spending and know exactly where my money goes.

I try to track my spending, but I only manage to do it on a monthly basis or when I remember.

I attempt to track my spending occasionally, but I often lose track along the way.

No, I don't track my spending at all, I have no clear picture of my expenses.

Do you regularly track spending?

I have very little time at all but I would like monitor as much as I can!

I have some time and would like to spend some or all of it monitoring my investments.

I have most of the day to myself and would like to spend some or all of it monitoring my investments.

Regardless of the time I have available, I want to spend as little time as possible watching my money move.

While the markets generally run between 9:30am-4pm, news and international markets go make an active process become 24/7! How much time can or want to spare to keep an eye out?

I am a risk lover! If there is even a 0.01% of a 100x return, I am taking that!

I try to put the odds in my favor with research. That said, I will take a risk since my research doesn't confirm 100% success but lets me be confident in my decisions

If the odds are 50/50, I'm saying no. I only play if the majority of odds are in my favor and the return must be a specific positive percentage.

I hate risk. I play it as safely as possible. Confirmed wins are the way, even if the wins are small.  

As with anything, investing can be a risky endeavor. What are you comfortable with?
