I’d say “zoom out” on the rocks because they’re backed by a real company, but the crypto might just go to zero because it’s all based on thin air.

Hope you at least cashed out some profits along the way 🫣

I feel like I've been living under a rock for ~5 yrs. I was happy and blowing off money with the thinking that I'll start saving once I start earning more.

Just realised that could've started early. I'm in mid 20s and thinking about investment. Tried watching YouTube videos. But I have pretty basic questions :
1. Where do I even start?
2. What %age of income should I invest?

I hope I'm not late.

I have a few friends who will tell me everything from how much money they make to how much their husband spent on them for their bdays to how much their parents make??
