It's true that it could decline and disappear, and I'm okay with that. I'm only investing what I can afford to lose. But looking back, there were several opportunities I considered but passed on, and if I had just put some disposable income into them, I could have made a lot of money in the long run.
The money I'm using would probably have been spent on something unnecessary anyway. At least with this, it's something I can actually make use of now and hopefully well into the future.
I can totally relate to all the aches and pains. I'll be 37 in a few months, and I really wish I hadn't taken my body for granted in my 20s.
Probably true yeah...I sometimes wonder how much money I've lost simply by not ever having put into savings or stocks until relatively recently. Just inflation alone would have cost me a fortune without even knowing. (stealth tax).
Well, we need more people with faith like you around here!
