Start investing in the stock market. A little each month, gradually building over time. Compounding returns while in your 20s & 30s is the secret to massive wealth later in life.

The first rule of a happy life is low expectations. If you have unrealistic expectations you’re going to be miserable your whole life. You want to have reasonable expectations and take life’s results good and bad as they happen with a certain amount of stoicism. — Charlie

Index funds won’t make you rich. Sure, you may retire comfortably someday. But you definitely won’t have “F U” money. Finding 2 or 3 quality stocks and riding them long term is a true path to generational wealth. Yes, it takes a lot of work—but the payoff could be huge.

If I had to start my investing journey over, here’s what I’d do: • Get a mentor • Read One Up on Wall Street • Paper trade & practice owning stocks • Research 5 stocks whose products I use • Put some real money in a broker account • Keep a journal to understand my thoughts
