I literally work in finance and don’t invest any of my money. I’m a fucking idiot.
Hi everyone! As you can tell by the title, I’m going to preface this by saying I’m an idiot. I’ve been a part of this sub for a while, but I’ve never posted or commented.
I’m in my early twenties, started working recently and have been studying finance and econ for far too long but still feel like I’ve got SO much to learn. As you can tell by the title, I don’t invest ANYTHING. This is mainly because 1. Investing requires faith in yourself to a degree, which I lack 2. Working in finance, I’m iffy about the legalities of investing given my job? I know day trading is discouraged but I’ll be honest I haven’t dug into it more 3. I’m good at valuing businesses and firms but not at trading, in fact, don’t really know how to do it practically and 4. Last but not least, I’m an idiot.
This brings me to why I’m posting this; I needed a push if that makes sense, along with ANY advice you guys have to offer!
PS: I really want to try and be more active on here, I think there’s a lot to gain from some of these discussions tbh so this is the first official step I guess haha
