I wish I'd been better with money growing up. Nobody sat me down and taught me any of this.
But that's not an excuse anymore. Everything I needed was already out there, free, waiting. At some point you stop blaming the start you got and just use the tools in front of you.
So that's what I did. In under two years: high five figures invested in quality businesses, half my student loans paid off, and my own company opened.
The part that surprised me most is how much I love it. I look forward to 9:30am every day when the market opens. There's always something new to learn and opportunities everywhere if you're paying attention.
Here's why I share any of this. A lot of people were never given access to this world. Nobody told them it was for them too. That's what I want to change.
You're not behind.
You just haven't started yet. Let's go. ๐
