 TITLE: What Is Dollar Cost Averaging? CONTENT: Investing Is Just One of Many Financial Strategies\n--------------------------------------------------\nRemember that investing is just one aspect of your overall financial strategy. Before investing, you'll want to make sure you have a steady income, ample savings and aren't struggling to manage your debt. If you have debt, it may be good to pay down debt before you start investing.\nThe one exception is investing in your retirement, which you should aim to do as early as possible, even if you can only set aside a small amount each month in the beginning.\nTo see a full picture of your debt and credit, get a free copy of your credit report and scores from Experian.
