What’s the smartest financial decision you’ve ever made?

Exercising - you save a lot on doctors
Investing since I was 26 - compound interest is the eight wonder
Not having credit card debt - that is modern-day slavery
Having a budget - always live below your means
Ignoring other people’s lifestyle- don’t keep up with the joneses.
Learning about finance- start early and when you talk to a financial advisor you will realize how much you already know.

Love all this. It’s criminal that they don’t teach basic finance and compound interest in high school.

Get good credit cards and play the credit point bonus game. Always pay the balance and pay ZERO credit card interest.
Invest long term in VOO and little less so in QQQ...and some NVDA. Put the most you can into the max of your IRA/ROTH IRA.
If I had done this at 26 years old, I would be worth a lot more...a lot. I would probably be looking at retirement at 55.

Buying a lot of bitcoin at $27.
The inverse is. I didn't trust it and when it went over $1,000 I sold it all.
Badge myself for that.
