It doesn't take much to better your personal finance. Think about what the average person does:
-Finances too much house
-Finances too much car
-Don't review spending closely
-Eats out/orders take out a lot
-Don't contribute enough for full 401(k) employer match
Need I go on?

If you just stick with investing in broad based index funds you will never have to worry about speculating which sector will take off!
The beauty is you are automatically diversified.
I have a pie with M1 and just invest consistently.

Unreal to me that...
Of those earning more than six figures, 47% reported living paycheck to paycheck.
I really like this quote...

Had you bought S&P 500 ETF at the market peak in 2008 (right before a 30%+ decline) and held.
Your total return today would be ~263% (9.3% annualized) after just over 14 years.
Market timing is irrelevant.

What society considers risky:
- Investing in the stock market
- Buying a rental property
- Starting a business
What society does:
- Takes out $100k in student loans
- Buys their first $50k “big boy” car
- Max high interest credit cards
This is WHY most PEOPLE are BROKE.
Traditional Mindset:
Save and invest what is "leftover" after bills, expenses, etc.
Growth Mindset:
Save and Invest is priority, paying yourself first. Aim to invest 15% minimum, then budget *after* that.

Your “friends” hate on you for budgeting and investing because they’re broke and going no where
"Say you need $55,000 per year to live off of in today’s dollars, but you plan to retire in 25 years. Calculating for inflation, you would need to spend $115,000 per year in retirement to maintain your current lifestyle."

Google search: "stock market overvalued 2012” on you can find plenty of stories discussing how overvalued stocks were in 2012.
The S&P 500 has since returned 286.32%.
Lesson in point.
