My father never had any real money. He just worked hard and was a good provider. He didn't understand investing but he knew I was gonna do OK.
I wish you guys could meet my 82yr old mother. She isn't wealthy but she does OK. She invested some through a broker and he got her out timely around 2000. She complains a lot about CD rates. I cringe when she wishes for 15% treasuries lol. She feels sorry for me because I have to work at HD with a sore back. She wants to loan me money until I am 60. I finally pulled up my brokerage account on her computer and told her I might be OK lol.
I learned to invest from an Army peer. He poured a ton of money into a mutual fund some guy named Peter Lynch managed. That was a score! He started an investment club and I learned a lot. He was a Boston U grad BTW. About the smartest guy I ever met.
