Do you believe that the experience you have with money is just about 0.00000001% of what’s happened in the world of money.

Things to look at before buying an Index fund
I shared it with new investors who want to know about why they have to invest? and where to park their first investment? . At the end of the posts, I said to invest in an Index fund alone, instead of an active fund for chasing extra returns ( which you’ll fail). Today, let me […]
