About this episode
PJ, a 30-year-old actor with multiple jobs, shares how he invests consistently despite unpredictable income.

Jess learns how PJ, an actor juggling four other jobs, built a percentage-based system that invests a slice of every paycheque no matter when it lands. Plus the lithium stock punt that led him to ETFs and how he uses investing to fuel the pursuit of a dream career. This is 'How I Got Started' a series on Get Started Investing.
