It’s easy to think getting rich comes down to luck, connections, or simply working harder. But the real game-changer lies in your mindset. Without understanding how investments work, you’re likely to lose money in the market. Jumping into a business without knowing the risks and challenges often leads to failure. Your ability to spot opportunities and sidestep traps is directly tied to how much you know. The more you grow your understanding, the more you unlock the potential for wealth.
However,let’s be honest: We’re all operating within a system designed to push us toward spending and debt. Capitalism thrives on consumption, with everything — from ads to social media to the way jobs are structured — nudging us to chase the next shiny thing.his fuels dissatisfaction and endless comparison, making it harder to stay focused on what truly matters.
The reality is that most people do not even understand after trying to learn, it's clear that the world population is not that high on IQ, we have a lot more stupid people than smart people, and while I do agree that you do not have to be genius to be able to trade, you can't be stupid neither, you have to understand certain concepts and many people don't.
I am not saying this to bash other people, I am not a great trader myself, even after this many years I am still not making a bank, normally if I had the capacity to be a great trader, by this time I should be living off just trading income, a lot of smart people do, I am not. So this isn't about "other" people, I am talking about us, me included, sometimes it just doesn't apply to certain people and we can't expect great results, so we settle for decent.
