Episode Why this 42-yr-old farmer is investing in shares, not just the farm
It’s not everyday Jess meets someone whose first investment was a cow.
But for 42-year-old dairy farmer Justin, that was the case. Bought with the profits of selling manure by the side of the road might we add! 😆
It’s no secret that farming is a tough, often volatile profession. Justin watched his parents financial life revolve solely around their farm. So when he discovered investing, he saw it as a way to build a life less dependent on the weather.
Now, he’s teaching his 14 year old daughter the power of investing too.
This is ‘How I Got Started’ a series where I sit down with a community member to hear the highs and lows of their journey to investing. These are real stories that we hope will give you confidence that investing is for anyone.
