My dad gave me a booklet by a baseball coach in Georgia about investing.
His name was A. L. Williams.
I never went with Primerica because of costs, but the pamplet had some great lessons in it.
Dollar cost averaging, pay yourself first, compound interest, etc.
Dad also gave me 50 shares of T as a gift.
I then started in DRIPs in several stocks including PG and JNJ which I’ve never sold.
As I made more more, I never forgot the lesson of “pay yourself first.”

I was a senior in high school. I had purchased with all my graduation money a company called entrada networks. I had turned 2000 into 20000 and was about to buy a car....
Entrada networks was in the World Trade Center. One of the top floors. Lost 20k at 19 to 9/11.
