What was something you wished someone taught you or learnt before you started on your investing journey?

I wished I had a mentor who guide me into investment earlier. The years that I waste having money sitting in bank are time that I'll never gain back. Which is why I always encourage my younger peers to start their journey earlier. :)

Hi Anonymous,

That is a great question. It is a lesson about life as much as investing, actually. To view things holistically and to seek sufficiency, not maximisation; that life is so much more than watching the stock markets, and doing less is often better than doing more like active management. The trick to successful, "rested" investing is really to let go of the need to maximise returns in every time frame, and be content with the return of the markets. Hope this helps!
