πŸ’­ My Thoughts πŸ’­

I spent a lot of time looking at how or when I was finally going to get started investing. I was obsessed with watching videos on youtube on how to retire early and what are the best ways to achieve financial independence. Until I ran into this video right HERE explaining what would happen when you double a penny everyday for a month. At first I was like "Huh?? That's crazy and impossible. Literally no one can do that" but the idea was stuck in my head. That compound interest idea. I kept on watching endless amounts of videos and eventually I ran into how you can recieve money back simply by puting money into companies that pay out a dividend. What's even more astonishing was that I found that you can reinvest that same amount of money you recieved to make even more money. You would not believe my face when I first came to know about all of that. It wasn't until January 17th of 2020 that I finally decided to get my butt of the couch and start investing.
