So You Want to be a Shareholder, Eh? A SelfWealth Shenanigan Guide (But Seriously, How to Buy Shares)
Let's face it, adulthood is basically a never-ending game of pretend. You pretend you know what you're doing at work, you pretend you can cook something besides burnt toast, and now, you want to pretend you're a fancy stock market mogul. Well, hold onto your metaphorical top hat, because this guide will turn you from a financial newbie to a share-buying superhero (or at least someone who won't accidentally buy shares in a company that makes novelty socks).

| How To Buy Shares Selfwealth |
Step 1: Apply, Don't Drool (Unless You're Applying From Your Drool-Worthy Yacht)
First things first, you gotta open a SelfWealth account. This ain't rocket surgery, folks. It's an online application, and unless you're applying while simultaneously juggling flaming chainsaws, you should be good to go.
Pro Tip: If you do manage to juggle flaming chainsaws while applying, we highly recommend against it. But hey, if that's your thing, more power to you (although fire safety is important).
QuickTip: Pause after each section to reflect.
Step 2: Fund Your Account (Because Shares Don't Grow on Money Trees... Yet)
This is where things get real. You gotta put some moolah in your account. Now, how much is up to you. But remember, buying shares is like buying a gym membership – it only works if you actually use it. So don't go overboard and empty your piggy bank on the first try.
Side Hustle Alert: If your bank account is looking a little worse for wear, consider a side hustle. You can mow lawns, walk dogs, or even sell your collection of slightly-used novelty socks (just a suggestion).
QuickTip: Don’t skim too fast — depth matters.
Step 3: Picking Your Poisons (Well, Not Exactly Poisons, But You Get the Idea)
Now for the fun part: choosing which shares to buy! SelfWealth has a fancy search bar where you can look up companies. Do your research, read some articles, maybe even consult a magic 8-ball (hey, it can't hurt, right?). Just remember, investing is a marathon, not a sprint. Don't get caught up in the hype and buy something ridiculous like "Acme Clown College Inc." (although, who knows, maybe that's the next big thing?).
Word to the Wise: Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Spread your investments around different companies – that way, if one company goes belly up, you won't be left crying into your novelty sock collection.
QuickTip: Re-reading helps retention.

Step 4: Placing Your Order (May the Investing Gods Be With You)
Alright, you've done your research, you've picked your companies, now it's time to click that glorious "buy" button. There are different order types (market, limit, etc.), but don't worry about that for now. Just think of it as choosing how spicy you want your investment curry.
Important Note: SelfWealth charges a brokerage fee, so keep that in mind when placing your order. But hey, consider it the price of admission to the exciting world of stock ownership.
QuickTip: Pay attention to first and last sentences.
Step 5: Sit Back, Relax, and Maybe Check the News Once in a While (But Not Too Much)
Congratulations! You are now a shareholder, a tiny investor in a big, wide world. Don't expect to get rich overnight. Building wealth takes time and patience. But hey, who knows, maybe you'll be the next Warren Buffett (but with a better sense of humor).
Just Remember: The stock market can be a bit of a rollercoaster. Don't panic if your shares go down a little. Take a deep breath, maybe go for a walk, and resist the urge to check your phone every five seconds.
So there you have it! Your crash course on buying shares with SelfWealth. Now go forth and conquer the stock market (responsibly, of course). And remember, if all else fails, you can always go back to selling novelty socks.
