“BUT I’M TIRED.” Yeah… I get it. It’s hard to ‘adult’. But as an excuse for NOT learning about the markets, it’s piss poor. You are the sum total of all the decisions you’ve made in the past. What you see in your life right now is the result. It’s ‘excuses’ or ‘results’. There is…
IF THERE’S ONE THING that the banking Royal Commission into Banking, Superannuation and Financial Services Industry has shown us, it’s that we have to take more control.
