Between 18-68 is a huge span that covers most people. Besides me and a handful of other people I know. Most boomers which were middle class, never invested or traded unless it was some retirement account.
It’s too complicated for them so they just let their financial adviser invest their savings. With millennials it’s different because most are good with computers. And looking at wallstreetbets Reddit you can see how many made good money doing so.
I disagree you can invest at the age of 10 in many countries. If you have a smart parent.
68 is old to start, but not that old A lot depends on your goals at that age.
7 years of investing at a good item (what ever that so called good item is ) can yield quite a bit of uptick for you investment.
1000 for 7 years is 7000 at .0000001 % gain
but at 15% gain
1000 year 1 = 2660
1000 year 2 = 2313
1000 year 3 = 2011
1000 year 4 = 1749
1000 year 5 = 1520
1000 year 6 = 1322
1000 year 7 = 1150
7000 invested is 12725. not terrible ask any 68 year old if he would do that
and if he puts it up in first year do dca it is 18620 not bad for 7000
of course no way does anyone know if any investment does 15%
Moron is crude
how about a lack of understanding of life ?
