Investing basics from an early age would have been useful, even though I, like many others interested in the subject, self-educated in time and that is good too, but an earlier consistent understanding of this world could have prevented some mistakes and taking advantage of other opportunities earlier in life.
Anyway, the cat definitely found her balance. Smart cat.
Imagine having invested in basics early in your 20s... When you are in the full form, without limits, without preconceptions... With your qualities, you would be a millionaire before you're 30! 😃
I was actually in the local stock market for a couple of years when the financial crisis came more like in 2010-2011 around here. Not taking profits... then either, and lost quite a bit, because I had to sell around 2014 still at a big loss, to buy a house when a good opportunity arose (family helped with that). And my family wasn't happy at all with the losses (even if they were my money), they are very risk averse, in general, so their strong opinions and digesting my losses kept me away from investing for several years. Even now, I hesitate to "go big" into something. So, it probably still haunts me that early loss.

If it comforts you, I did the same... 🤣 Lost a few (maybe not just a few) times, which gives me panic attacks when I should "pull the trigger"... So, lately, I'm mostly HODLing, and taking profits progressively... Waiting for the bear to go in for a better price... lol... I suppose it's the "opposite way", but it counts as investing too... 😃
