The good thing about stocks is that if you have a reasonable approach, you’ll generally do very well. You may lose your ass on a couple BUT they can only go to zero. And you’ll undoubtedly hit a few home runs, AND they have no limit! 👍🏼

I’m not bad with money but definitely lots of room to improve overall, due to several personal factors I don’t want to list in full here (numerous unanticipated medical bills, bad boyfriends, etc.) Hence why I only have $3k in savings right now. My first mini goal is to have $5k saved by the end of December. I need motivation and words of encouragement. If I pay off my medical bills, I won’t make my goal. I have to start putting saving money first. Getting depressed about my situation.
