You'll think this dude is crazy when you are down $200 after your first year. But check again in 10 years when it has doubled in value. Just pretend the money doesn't exist.

    And the most important advice is to leave the money the fuck alone.

    I got lucky in that I started having enough money to invest after the 2008 crash. Those years had crazy good gains. The real test comes when the market crashes 30% in a few days. Can you stick to the plan? That happened in 2020 when lockdowns started, and if you stuck to the plan, you still did very, very well that year.
