You’ve finally made your first investment – congratulations!
Now comes the hardest part: not checking it every single day.
The stock market doesn’t move in a straight line. It zig-zags. Some days, your $1,000 might look like $900. That’s not failure, it’s normal.
The real growth comes when you stop thinking like a trader and start thinking like an owner. Long-term investing is a 10+ year game.
Time, not timing, is what builds wealth.
Question: Do you find it harder to stay invested during downturns, or to get started in the first place?
