Here are some thoughts on why I love index funds and investing generally.
I used to think spending money was the whole game.
Brands, coffee to go, newest iPhone the week it dropped.
I was funding other people’s wealth and calling it a lifestyle.
The question that stuck: how do you benefit from the things everybody wants and buys?
Then I found the least exciting invention in finance: Index funds.
You don’t pick Apple.
You don’t pick the hottest fashion brand.
You don’t pick the coffee chain.
You own a piece of them all.
No stock-picking contest.
Just capitalism on autopilot, while you keep living and enjoy your life.
That’s the peace of mind.
Start young and stay invested.
Let consumption turn into ownership.
Can you relate? What motivated you to start investing?
I’ve never been more bullish on Bitcoin than I am now. The next supercycle has started and doesn’t care about outside forces like the Clarity Act. All it cares about is the Bitcoin-Will-Dominate Act.
Germany just hit a 20-year low in homeownership.
Only 43.5% own their home.
Most people will never buy a house.
That’s why I stopped researching about four walls and started owning companies that actually compound.
$PLTR , Index funds, crypto.
Ownership doesn’t have to be a mortgage.
Whats your plan if you never buy a house?
Another week another lesson.
Fed hiked. Clarity failed.
Bitcoin reclaimed $80k anyway.
Political news has short legs, like I said.
Ownership of quality assets doesn’t.
Did you sell the headlines or still hold?
I’m in team number 2.
@CatLadyCapital The sentence bugs me. I agree but you don’t “want” your stocks to crash UNLESS you want to buy more. So it needs the addition of this otherwise I disagree. You want ALL your stocks to go up. 😂
@themotleyfool I tend to ageee but I find the sentence is wrong by itself. I’d say “long-term” investors spend more time waiting than trading. Because by definition a “best” investor might be an incredible trader. You see. Trading can be investing. But investing doesn’t have to be trading.
