Step 4 in the MGB Investing Starter Kit process is to get what we call a Check In Chum.
Watch this video to get more info!
Get a Check in Chum!
Here's a sample text you could send to your potential Chum:
Hi friend! I took a class on investing, and the teacher suggests getting a ‘Check In Chum’- a buddy interested in increasing their financial fluency. Might you be interested in hearing more about this?
Do you already have a 'financial fluency' friend to bounce investing ideas off of? If not, would you consider getting one? Let me know in the comments! And as always, thanks for reading this!
Edit April 2025:
We have amended the steps and also how we teach class. Getting a Check in Chum can be so challenging that it is now ALL of step 4, and is also tool 4.

So sorry I didn't see this until now, but I am so glad to hear that you're putting this into practice! If you see this, please let me know how it's going? It's a wild time in the market, but if you've been doing the steps, hopefully you're having a smoother ride?
Thanks for posting! Hi to you and your Check In Chum!
