Mooers' Insights: Why did you start investing?

@KT88
I started investing with the intention of not only generating a second source of revenue but may also assist me in curating inflation-beating returns. Aside from that, making regular investments instills a habit of saving money regularly, which helps me develop financial discipline over time.

As time started to pass by, I noticed that houses were skyrocketing to the point where it once again seemed unattainable to get a condo on a single income (as the amount I need for a down payment was increasing daily).

I started my own business. Entrepreneurship is not easy, I landed a job and so I winded up my biz when my job stabilized. Investing is so much easier than entrepreneurship. Investing allows me to live fire and be free. I'm thankful. Wish fellow mooers will achieve fire too.

I learned about trading and investing from my Father, and was immediately hooked. It's an intellectual challenge, it's very hard, and ultimately, success or failure depends 100% on oneself.It is a modern version of treasure hunting, where you look for gems, and get a nice reward, if you do it well!

@Double Rainbow
Smart investing may allow my money to outpace inflation and increase in value. The greater growth potential of investing is primarily due to the power of compounding and the risk-return tradeoff.

@Southern Eagle
I started with investments that are easily understandable and use that foundation to learn more and to develop my investment understanding and vocabulary over time. I crafted my own investment plan that works with my risk appetite.

During my investment practice, I have learnt a lot of lessons( good and bad) from real world. I realized that I have not only gained investment knowledge and experiences, but also I could change my life financially.

It's a good learning experience for me to have this Moomoo platform to do paper trading (practice), be involved in the Moomoo community, and also earn money by investing. My next plan is to learn more about the options; this could be a good opportunity for me to explore.
