Your friend Jasmina is excited that you took personal finance this semester and comes to you for investing advice. She tells you: "I'm totally new to investing. I kind of know what a stock and bond are but I don't really know which specific ones to invest in. I remember learning about the stock market in school so I know a little about investing! But, I don't know WHERE or HOWI go to actually start investing! When I started my job, our HR department told me that they offer a 401(k) plan and do a dollar-for-dollar match up to 3% although I don't know what any of that actually means. I've also heard a lot of crazy stories in the news about individual stock prices just plummeting because of an unforeseen event, and I'm super worried that I'll lose my money. What should I do? Where do I start?" In your response below:
