Welcome to Investing 101 with Operation Better Block and the Pennsylvania Department of Banking and Securities! Join us for an evening of learning in an interactive setting on Thursday, May 15, 2025 at the University of Pittsburgh Community Engagement Center at 622 N Homewood Avenue.

Investing 101 is an introduction to saving and investing for our future goals with an emphasis on retirement. Most of us are not saving enough for our retirement. Many of us are not saving anything at all. Investing is a way to build wealth without having to be wealthy to do it. No matter how small the amount, or your background/previous knowledge, anyone can get started.

Topics to be covered include:

  • Why we need to save and invest
  • The difference between saving and investing
  • Types of investments
  • The “power” of compound interest
  • Investigating before you invest
  • Technology and investing
  • Diversification

Whether you're a beginner or looking to brush up on your investing skills, this event is perfect for anyone interested in taking control of their financial future and build wealth. Don't miss out on this opportunity to learn from an expert in the field. See you there!
