By Billy B | Invest, Money
I remember when I used to feel inadequate about money and investing. I felt like I was floating in the middle of a dangerous ocean, with no wind in my sails, and I lost my direction home.
It was a helpless, scary feeling to know almost nothing about how to start investing, because I desperately wanted to master money, but I didn’t know where to start learning how to invest.
