I hate finance ... but I'm here

I support young people who want to begin their investment journey early. As mentioned in a previous post (Gen Z and debt), I’d put aside my part-time job earnings as the capital for investments. I’d be more proactive in scanning the news and be updated on the overall environment. I’d become more curious about the companies that make the products I use, and study them more closely.

Rather than giving my money to my mother to invest on my behalf, I’d ask her opinions and learn from her the trading ropes. Find several mentors with portfolios in diverse industries. And that’s why I appreciate Moomoo, because 人才在民间 and the most likely I might bump into one is on here.

I’d probably set a goal (although it’s not my favorite thing since goals stress me out). Rather than just collect pay checks or even profits from my stocks, maybe have a plan for when I’d like to start living life on my own terms. How much would I need to sustain the lifestyle I want - which of it comes from my full-time job, part-time job, passive investments, active trading, etc? Then, I can do my best to try and hit those goals.

Finally, I’ll still keep a portion in passive, low-risk, long-term investments. This will be the real retirement fund Everything else is part of my growth journey.
