INVESTING MISTAKES
I MADE IN MY
EARLY 20’s 😭
1. Not opening and investing
inside a ROTH IRA sooner. I
missed out on years of
compound growth. I wish I
started when I was 18.
Goodbye, HARIBO Goldbären
2. Not diversifying my
investments from the start.
When I first started investing,
I only bought a few stocks
thinking they would be
winners. But I ended up
losing money.
Diversified index funds and
ETF's are the way to go.
Keep investing simple.
3. Buying into hype due to
FOMO (Fear of missing out).
If you buy investments due
to FOMO, there is a high
chance you will lose money.
4. Not having a long term
mindset. Wealth is built over
the long term. I now buy and
hold quality investments for
long periods of time.
Even billionaires like Warren
Buffett encourage long term
investing.
