Everything in this book is for education only. It explains how money and investing work in general. It is not financial, investment, tax or legal advice, and it does not recommend any particular investment, product or provider. Prices, rules and tax figures change: check them with the official source before you act. Before you make an investment decision, consider speaking to a licensed adviser where you live (in Jamaica, one licensed by the Financial Services Commission). Investing carries risk, including losing some or all of the money you put in.
