Something that pleasantly surprised me was the accessibility to safe investments to people of all economic ranges. I came into this thinking that only the ultra rich and wealthy have the opportunity to buy prime real estate in prime locations thus making money off these assets.

When people buy stocks, they are buying shares of companies, which buy the buildings thus whatever the company profits, the stockholder will also get paid through the dividends that are paired out quarterly. I was pleasantly surprised at this information because this fosters a more equal opportunity for everyone in the United States regardless of their income to make and grow their wealth.

  I was inspired to create this project because I enjoy learning about and investing my own money in my free time. I think this is a precious skill that could allow for much more financial freedom and the ability to have opportunities one wouldn't typically have.

Through this project, I have went through many different reports that have been dense, however have been directly connected to 2020 through the present. This has been a completely different experience from analyzing all the other documents because a lot of the difficulty came from understanding the wording in grammar however in these reports the information is very complicated. This is help me a lot because in and after college, I hope to be working in this field which means I will inevitably be doing this as a job so gaining this knowledge and learning this new skill will prove to be very  helpful later in my career.

 I think Hawkin in the Townsend group could potentially offer a course which would teach kids how to invest in safe investments, and this would be a very important life skill because everyone needs to invest and save for their retirement so in learning this very valuable skill they will be able to start earlier and start with an organization that is very well respected in this field. In this course they would learn about what I’ve learned about however they would learn about the different assets in more depth and also learn about why investments are safe and stable.
