The Gritty Investor

Synopsis

'A must-read' –David Dodge, Former Governor of the Bank of Canada
'Clear, practical principles for building lasting wealth' –Heather Conway, Chair of the board of directors, AMEX Bank of Canada


The Gritty Investor reveals how Millennials and Gen Z can navigate the greatest wealth transfer in history – $78 trillion – without falling prey to modern investing pitfalls.

Millennials and Gen Z are reaching the age where they have money to invest, but risk shrinking their wealth instead of growing it because they don't understand the modern tools of investing and how to avoid their pitfalls.

In this practical guide full of tips and life hacks, father-daughter expert investing duo, Michael Decter and Genevieve Roch-Decter cover everything from boring-but-important financial basics to exciting-but-risky digital crazes.

You’ll learn how to:

  • Handle an inheritance
  • Manage your cash
  • Beat inflation
  • Survive a layoff
  • Buy a house
  • Fund your retirement


You’ll uncover the authors’ best strategies as they explain simple and complex investment vehicles, talk you through the trading apps, and provide actionable steps for financial life transitions, all illustrated by true stories from the front lines of the investing world.

Best of all, they will teach you the strategies they use to persevere through the market booms and crashes. They will show you how to resist the lure of crypto-scams and meme-stock frenzies, so that, like the slow and steady tortoise, you win the race to financial security.
