Financial Education: Fear Of Getting Involved
(Edited)
When we are new to financial matters, there is a tendency to want to study, research, and delve into the quest for knowledge. This is a wonderful way to go and should be part of the program.
However, there comes a time when we have to press the button and actually buy something.
In this video I discuss how many are paralyzed by fear and refuse to step forward to get involved with investing. They allow the fear of losing to prevent then from starting.

There is a thin line between being wary of investing and impulsively jumping in. Research is definitely important, but sometimes confidence is what is needed.

That is true but sometimes you have to do your business or get off the proverbial pot. This is not to say that one jumps into things blindly. Research and diligence is required.
However, many suffer from paralysis by analysis.

Paralysis by analysis. Well said. I agree that a middle ground must be found between wariness and action. Research is important but double guessing yourself is a real burden in investing.

For a long time I was simply unware of the possibility of investing, I imagined it was a thing that only wealthy people did. After I started researching the options available for investing I discovered crypto and the rest is history :)

Yep and slowly but surely, you are moving up the chain. Keep growing them bags and you will be one of the wealthy in short order too.

Buying a house with crypto/crypto earnings would make me more than happy :) Wealth is something that seems almost abstract to a pleb :P

I find the best thing to do is to go in with a plan and make sure to respect your plan.

And follow the damn plan. So many have a great plan then deviate from it the second they start investing. Suddenly Uncle Louie has a hot tip that is too good to pass up.
