That guy must be a total dumbass. If he steadily invested that $100/week, he’d do well for himself.
Oh? Where?
Reminds me of Mexico when, in the 60s my wife and I went into Mexico a lot and those people hardly had a centavo to rub together but the little hole-in-the-wall Loteria shops were packed. Same mentality. Stupid is as stupid does, meanwhile depriving their families of basic neccessities.
Locally, I've been behind people who spent a hundred or more dollars on scratch-offs, I don't know how often they do that though; it took me awhile standing in line behind them (they usually took time to scratch off the ticket at the counter) to buy a snack.
Then there's they guy who said when the pot was something like 10 million bucks, "I'm gonna wait until it's worthwhile before I play(!)", I'm sure you've heard that too. Amazing, and we're surprised at getting a Kenyan illegal alien for a POTUS?
They are not interested in “doing well for themselves.”
They prefer the “rush” of the lottery, and love to wallow in their self-inflicted misery. It’s easier, and there are a whole host of people he can blame.
I know the market sucks right now. However, you can buy real low right now and eventually it will come back up.....Unless it was me investing. LOL!!!
