I've watched hundreds of people try to start investing. Most of them make the same 3 mistakes and give up within 6 months.

Mistake #1: Trying to pick "the next Tesla"

You see a stock up 400% on TikTok and think you found the cheat code. You didn't. That stock already moved. Chasing hype is how beginners lose money fast. Start with broad ETFs (like SPY or VTI) and learn how the market actually works before you try to pick winners.

Mistake #2: Checking your portfolio every hour

The market goes up and down every day. That's normal. If you're checking your portfolio during lunch, you're going to panic sell the first time you see red. Set it, learn, and think in years — not hours.

Mistake #3: Waiting for the "perfect time" to start

There is no perfect time. The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is today. Even $50/month into an index fund at 22 puts you lightyears ahead of someone who starts at 30.
