my parents never seem to believe in making investments. any forms of money generating efforts other than work, be it taking on 2 jobs or soccer betting, has always been ridiculed on the dinner table. as a result i never got much exposure to money management techniques. i can't help but think that this is one of the reason why i am worth a mere 2000-3000 after being alive for 21 years.
my family values hard work. so do i. yet, haven't we seen enough to realise that hard work (i mean, working hard in ur job) alone isn't gonna make you financially independent? for a start, it takes sound knowledge and handling of money from a young age for us to at least have a chance to break out of the cycle. i have missed many opportunities already. so, why am i put down everytime i show interest in this topic?
as i set out to find my way through this complex maze, all i need is a little bit of support. i ain't asking for money. i just want you to know that what i am trying to do could possibly be better than what you have done thus far. you ain't right all the time. and for sure, i can't be wrong all of the time can i?
