    I’ve noticed that some people just have some built in resistence to learning about stocks. It keeps them poor and it’s almost as they want that. At the same time, some kids learn about stocks in their teens and start getting experience and then they invest through their entire life, seeing their money grow.

    Its interesting see that attitude. Someone put it there. I would highly recommend challenging your views on this.

      Say you get 300% gains on your money and consistently put 50% of your money in stocks for 50 years. It still won’t make most people rich.

      Retiring comfortably? Sure, you’ve saved 50% of your salary. But rich? Like, Elon Musk family money in the 90s when no one knew him? Nope.

        I really think 99.99% of people would be super happy to just be rich enough to have a car, a house, and good food. We don’t need very much. People just dont want to be poor.
