Why? Money is the answer!
No surprise at all! According to the poll, about 64% of the votes went to "My dream of achieving financial freedom". To be financially independent, to have a secondary source of income, to have passive income, to beat inflation, to save retirement funds... these are undoubtedly the top reasons why we started trading. 
Any other reasons?
Sure! The reason is quite simple, but it's a big step forward for the investors. Many talked about how they embarked on their journey to trade during the pandemic, as they were stuck at home and got bored. Of course, there are a few inspiring reasons for mooers to start the exciting journey, examples are as below.
Some recalled how old-fashioned it was to call a broker to place an order. What terrible nostalgia! Farewell to high commission cost or having to buy in huge lots. We are witnessing how technology changes our life.
