Words of wisdom! I wish all of us had been taught to invest when we were young!

We were not taught any of this in school or by our parents. We learned by trial an error. Hard lessons.
My parents bought a few savings bonds. But that is the closest they ever came to investing. They couldn't teach what they never learned themselves They were Depression era babies, their parents would not have trusted any investment opportunities!
My parents didn’t know any better. It was a different world 50 years ago. Poor people didn’t go to college like now. Lucky to finish high school.
