I’m only one year into my investment journey, but the lessons have been coming hard and fast. Maybe after a few more years of experience, I’ll dish some different tips, but if I had anything to tell the me of a year ago, it’d be three simple words: take…it…slow. Why?
I bought all the stocks on my list in the first two days. While most have turned out well (thankfully), a few were bought way too high (hi, Disney). ...

If you don’t learn to manage your money, then other people will find ways to mismanage it for you. Some of these people may be ill-intentioned, like unscrupulous, commission-based financial planners. Others may be well-meaning but may not know what they’re doing, like Grandma Betty, who really wants you to own your own house even though you can only afford one by taking on a risky adjustable-rate mortgage.

People spend countless hours watching TV or scrolling through their social media feeds, but setting aside two hours a week for their finances is out of the question.

$Crypto ETFs(BK2595.US$ I have a confession to make. Even after all the analyses and strategies I have created, I allocate most of my investments to the S&P500 while keeping some part of it for the moonshots. I have told the exact same thing to everyone who has asked me personally for investment advice.

It may sound simple, but many people struggle with this first rule. Make sure you know what your job is worth in the marketplace, by conducting an evaluation of your skills, productivity, job tasks, contribution to the company, and the going rate, both inside and outside the company, for what you do.
