Note: The previous lesson covered index investing. This lesson is about investing in general.
It’s no coincidence that the most successful people in the FI community have a strong understanding of investing. By taking the time to expand your investing knowledge, you’ll maximize your returns, reduce risk, and give yourself peace of mind.
