Index funds are the simplest thing to use, IMO. I use the Charles Schwab S&P Index tracking fund. I’ve had investments with money managers before and the S&P index fund beat them by leaps and bounds in the long run. That’s where I feel is safe, I have a Charles Scwab trading account. If there’s a company you feel confident in, you can money there. I was excited about Netflix when it first came out and I didn’t pull the trigger and it shot off like a rocket. But safety wise, index funds are the way to go. On top of that, the best investment you can do is getting the match on your companies 401k if they offer it. Start there
Canada doesn't have 401k

same as a RRSP I assume that a company offers?
Mutual Funds are what exactly? They are investments that put your money into stocks/bonds equally? Sorry have only dabbled in this stuff just recently.
