How Boosting My Personal Savings Helps Me Be a Better Investor

Getting comfortable with investing is a process that, for me, has been many years in the making. When I first started buying stocks, I was scared of market crashes and spent many nights wondering whether I was just throwing my money away.

Here's how boosting my savings has helped me do a better job of buying stocks and maintaining my portfolio.
