If I could go back in time and teach my younger self about investing. These are the 11 lessons I would tell myself:
1: It's all a game designed to screw those not playing so start playing.
2: If your Russian IT professor tells you to buy some Bitcoin in 2012 it's probably a good idea to listen to them.
3: Go hard and go into debt on gamestop stocks in early December 2020. And sell it when you've made 10x just to be safe.
4: If it you see idiots on the internet collectively thinking about jumping in on something like Tesla or rocketlab don't wait! Make up your mind to be in or out immediately. And don't change your mind. Don't double down. Just accept whatever happens.

7: Ok so we need to make all that money back so we are gonna start going riskier! Have you started looking at more penny stocks? Penny crypto?

10: Get a job and start putting that money in etfs! It's like free money! And free money means you can spend more!
11: And now at 30 you should have a solid 20 or 30 bucks saved away for retirement.
