IMO- I think it boils down to time spent and being active. By being active I don’t mean buying and selling constantly - just being aware. Reading investor reports, learning specific industries (what interest you?), learning how to value a company and their metrics (mkt cap/EPS, P/E)

Buy some stocks and start watching the market. Compare similar stocks. Look at past charts and historical prices.

You just start being active.
It comes with time.

Read How to make money in stocks. One of is not the best book on the stock market.

The more experience you gain will tell you not to do it . Find yourself a nice index fund and ride the waves

go get your CFP 🙌

Buy the s&p 500 index with whatever you feel comfortable learning with. Don’t trade just hold, It’ll incentivize you to learn me. Read books avoid hype and think for yourself.

YOLO some 0dte options for a while

lol do NOT do that

Be a fundamental investor. Meaning look and learn about companies fundamenta numbers like cash flow, margins, debt, etc. For the most part if you see that theyre positive and in an upward trend then its a decent company to invest in for the long run. Once you learn the fundamentals then move into options for more income or riskier equities. Most platforms dont have these information readily available but I’ve been trying out Ainvest and it has it. Free to use as well.

The only way to learn is to invest a little money and see for yourself.

Hi Fishes,

If the gross CTC is more than 120K in Poland, tax will be 32% right?

Are there any other deductions apart from this?

My assumption is, we get atleast 68% of our gross. Are there any ways this can further reduce?

I have been researching into this these days and there is literature that shares how lending worked in pre-Islamic Arabia. When the time to pay back a loan came, the lender would ask "would you pay or will you increase?" And that increase was usually doubling the loan. Subsequently ever year the loan wasn't paid it was doubled from the previous year.
