I started investing when I was in my early 20s after reading David Chilton’s The Wealthy Barber. I started my investing journey totally oblivious to the high money management fees my big bank charged me at the time.
Little did I know how much these money management fees would kill my portfolio returns over the years.
In my very early 30s, I woke up.
I read books.
I read blogs.
I started to pay very close attention to where, how and when to invest my hard-earned dollars.
I’ve also learned to be wary of the financial industry. Why?
The way I see it: nobody cares more about my money than I do.
You should feel the same about your hard-earned dollars.
