Original caption

You can pick the right brokerage in 60 seconds. Two questions only. 1. Are you investing under or over $500 a month? Under $500 — Fidelity or Robinhood. You need fractional ETFs. Over $500 — all four platforms work. 2. Do you want one platform for life or the simplest possible start? One platform for life — Fidelity. Simplest start — Robinhood. The platform matters way less than how soon you start. #investing #PersonalFinance #fidelity #wealthbuilding

Transcript

You can pick the right brokerage for your situation in 60 seconds, wasting weeks on comparison videos. There are only two questions that actually matter. Stay with me on this. So forget the 30-minute comparison videos. Here are the two questions that you need to answer. Question 1: How much investing are you investing per month? Under 500, you need fractional shares on ETFs. Go to Fidelity or Robinhood. Over 500, full share purchases are not a barrier. So all four platforms work. Robinhood, Fidelity, Vanguard, Schwab. Question 2: Do you want one platform for life or the simplest possible start? If you want one platform for life, Fidelity. Grows with you for 30 years. If you want one that's the simplest to start, it's the cleanest interface. You can open an account in about five minutes. That's it. That's the whole decision. Stop reading comparison articles, stop watching review videos. Pick based on those two answers and open an account today. The platform matters way less than how soon you start.
