Today, it's relatively easy to start investing in stocks (you can even use a free app!), but roughly 49% of Australians have decided not to. Many have concerns about owning shares and are fearful they will lose everything or that they are not qualified to invest.

This week on the Friends With Money podcast, Money's Michelle Baltazar chats with Brendan Doggett, country manager at Sharesies Australia, and together they bust the myths of investing. They discuss:

  • What are the risk of investing?
  • Is it difficult to buy shares?
  • Do I need to take a course first?
