Investing Won't Make You Rich (Probably)

from The Plain Bagel · host The Plain Bagel

SEC Warning Link: https://www.sec.gov/investor/alerts/tradingseminars.htmAlso two points to clarify:1) By "rich," I mean the excessive disposable income promised by the investment ads I've seen (fast cars, private jets, etc.).2) I don't disagree that investments are vital to growing your wealth (I do run an investment channel, after all), and you can make you a lot of money investing WHEN it's combined with a strong savings program. The point is to highlight that investments ALONE cannot make you rich (i.e. you can't put aside a few thousand dollars and expect to hit a million in a few years).DISCLAIMER:This channel is for education purposes only and is not affiliated with any financial institution.
